<p>Is there more “reach” universities I should consider?</p>

4

<p>I agree w/ Mr. Burr. You should add more schools.</p>

<p>I agree with AaronBurr. Cut your high reach schools to no more than three (just for college-app writing sake and money), add at least another safety school, something you have a 80% chance or more to get into, and focus more on target schools.</p>

<p>The OP doesn’t have to revisit the list if he’d be happy to attend UW, really knows it’s a reach and can afford it.</p>

<p>OP, with this lst, you will end up at UW. That’s assuming it’s truly a safety, I know little about this college.</p>

<p>IMO, every other school on this list is a high reach, even with a 300 score boost.</p>

<p>In the next week please check ED results. They will be the wake up call so many here need. My biggest surprise on this site has come from understanding how weak college counseling is at so many schools. Did your counselor really sign off on this list?</p>
