You look good for all of them and expect scholarships from most of them.

Wow…that race…you can legit check all the boxes. Why aren’t you applying to better schools? You should at least have a couple of reaches, the ones you have there are all matches to safeties. Pick a couple of Ivy’s. You are a URM and have a 35. You could easily get into an Ivy League.

Yeah I am looking at a bunch of other schools and had a chance me thread on those earlier. These were just some safeties/matches that I wanted to look into. Looking into Northwestern, Vandy, WUSTL, USC, and some UCs.

Ivy League doesn’t really attract me tbh. I want to go to a school that has school spirit and has great student life. That’s why NW, Vandy and USC are at the top of my list.
