No bets without a DAT. Shoot for 20+'s across the board. I presume your in-states should be in your corner if you post a good score.

Safeties

Applying to schools that cost 500k+ is not safe

 

[PerioDont]

You have good stats. hopefully can do SIU or UIC

I guess I’m just nervous about not getting in anywhere and being slightly neurotic about it which is why I decided to run my list by some rational people. Ideally I would love to go to SIU because of cost. Do you think I should just take those three schools off my list and add any other school or just take them off? Thank you!

Hello Mr.Smile,
I took the DAT and ended up with a 23 AA, subscores below

What do you think about my school list with my DAT now in? I was recommended to take off Roseman, MWU-AZ, and Western. Any thoughts about replacements? Thank you in advance

I would just take them off. I'm not sure you need to replace them

 

[Mr.Smile12]

Yes your in-states are good bets but look at your regional private schools.
