Hey I was hoping for some help. Since my credentials (listed below) put me in consideration for quite a few schools I am having trouble narrowing them down. I want to apply to around 20 schools. So I wanted to see if anyone had any guidance on the schools I have already chosen and the the others.
THANKS!
