You should receive several interviews from your list. Add your other Florida schools- Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Florida State and NOVA MD.

If you have the $, I would add a few dream schools and shoot your shot. Hofstra might also be a good one.

imo add some t20s if you're interested. my urm friend got into penn and other t20s with a 518 and similar activities or less than yours

Thanks for the response, I'm hesitant to do so at the moment due to my GPA. Was your URM friend's GPA similar?

You should make sure you apply to all your in-state schools and connect with their LMSA chapters.
