<p>Your resume is fantastic! I think that you should look at some schools just a tiny bit down on the “rankings” list and you should have lots of success. Check the common data sets for the schools you listed and you will see that your scores are on the low side for those particular schools. But those are just a very few schools in the entire country. So be kind to yourself and expand your list to some more realistic choices.</p>
