how did you come up with this list?
it was a mix of looking at forums with OOS friendly schools along with schools I am potentially interested in; I don't think I made a smart list (and it's not finalized by any means), I was hoping to get some input and advice if possible!

you get interview invites and acceptances from schools that you have mission fit with
"OOS friendly" and "schools that i am interested in" are not mission fit...
