Haha planning on doing so, but curious if I have enough schools? I know it's kind of late in the cycle.

I think everything looks solid, apply ASAP so that the other schools on your list can start reviewing your app. I would maybe add 2 more privates to your list (like Case and BU maybe) and ask Pitt whether you'd even be considered before you send your app - don't waste your money if you won't be!

I think it looks good! You can apply to Rutgers if you want to, I think they're relatively OOS friendly.

Hang tight because it might be a few weeks before you hear back about invites.
