Moved to appropriate forum.

You have several schools that are not a fit. Washington’s OOS students are WWAMI and do not come from other states. Case and Cincinnati are far reaches with your stats. The HBCUs like Howard have a specific mission. What is your ethnicity/race?

Gotcha. Will definitely keep in mind. I'm North African, so I suppose "white".
