You should receive several interviews from those schools. You can add any schools that appeal to you.

Ya know, it's a cool and impressive feat, and not to downplay it, but in hindsight I would have chosen schools better. I chose schools based on maximizing interviews instead of schools I actually wanted to go to. A mix of both would be the best route, I just didn't know how competitive my app would turn out.

hmm interesting, I'm hoping my app is competitive too. Maybe I shud use ur advice and try my luck at UCLA? Idk tho bc moving from NY to LA is for sure to bring a tremendous amount of debt, sadly. What are some schools you wanted to go to that you didn't apply to?
