Thank you so much! I will certainly add some if not all of those schools to my list. One more question. My dream is to stay in Chicago, and UChicago and Northwestern are dream schools for me. Are these total pipe dreams that would be a waste of time/money to send a primary/secondaries to, or do I have any shot there as an Illinois resident?
