Any input would be great! I'm submitting my primary this weekend and would love some advice before then.

I'd dont see a single safety on that list. Need to add at least a couple

My advisor told me Boston, IU (in state), Georgetown and USC were all good safeties. Thats what I wasn't sure about... because they don't seem all that "safe" to me. Any thoughts on schools I should add/remove?

man, your stats are high. you should be able to figure this out without SDN. anyway, i don't think you need to add anyschools. you're applying to 21 schools with great stats. your bound to get in somewhere. if you don't. just apply next year.

i'm just wondering why you don't have mount sinai and cornell.

download this. put in your stats and pick a few "high chance" schools in your region. Just make sure you pay attention to instate/oss

Don't get me wrong, your stats are great and I think you'll be fine. But it's always better to play it extra safe

I actually did use that spread sheet to get a general idea of how competitive I was at schools. The thing is, some of the "High Chance" schools it lists are places like: UCLA, Boston, USC and Georgetown. All of those schools are still very competitive (especially UCLA from what I've heard and read) but they are currently my "safeties"
