<p>Just commenting on how weirdly similar we are…both from NY, same interest in business, and literally every school listed I am either applying to or very strongly considered. Anyways, I think you’re a bit stronger of an applicant than I am with all your EC’s! A lot of volunteer work and you just seem very focused and driven. I think all of your schools are at least matches, a few very low reaches (Cornell, Northwestern) and I only say that because of unpredictability. Obviously Maryland and Penn State are safeties, but the price tag for OOS is pretty big. UNC and UVa are traditionally tough with OOS-ers, as I’m sure you know, but I think you have as good a shot as any.</p>
<p>I think Northwestern, UPenn, and Georgetown will be the highest reaches for you, which still aren’t very reachy.</p>
<p>I’m also applying to PSU as I mentioned, any maybe it’s just me, but does the name “Smeal” almost make you not want to go there? Haha I love the environment and it’s a safety for me too but ugh “smeal” is just such a gross word.</p>
<p>Sorry for the wordy responses, good luck!</p>
