<p>15 apps is a lot; you should probably cut a few of these from your list to save money on app fees.</p>

<p>Cornell: low/mid-reach
Dartmouth: low/mid-reach
Princeton: reach
Harvard: reach
Yale: reach
Columbia: reach
Brown: mid-reach
Boston College: match
Boston University: match
Drexel (7 year med): probably a match, although idk if their 7-yr med program is particularly selective
Northwestern: match
John Hopkins: high match/low reach
NYU: match/safety
Rutgers: match/safety
TCNJ: safety
Duke: mid-reach</p>

<p>I find it hilarious that nobody else noticed that Columbia was on the list twice, I guess everyone sees Columbia and puts “reach” w/o even thinking about it…</p>
