Voi la. Remove bolded schools and you have 30 remaining. I removed many state schools that prefer IS (some to a lesser extent than others i.e. Vermont Wisconsin VCU) and a few big reaches w/ your stats (UCLA UCSD BU Michigan). What's left is a decent list that could undergo some more tweaking (i.e. removing low yield Brown/Dartmouth in favor of other choices). But it's a good list still IMO.

Edit: also don't send 6 LORs if possible...2 academic 1 research/most meaningful EC is ideal. Too many irritates some adcoms and probably won't add alot to your app.

Man, the kiddies at Yale would have a field day w/ this accidental categorization.

I mean TBF, Brown basically is a public school though....

Mayo keep, Pitt, no.

@Goro

You mentioned to add Pitt and Mayo. However, I'm worried that my 200 hour of research won't make the cut because I heard these schools are "research heavy and want heavy research experience"

Do you still think I should go ahead and apply?
