@cavghtup You look like a solid applicant, however, which of the non-safeties are you thinking of as reaches versus target?

Also, you need only one or two safeties, unless you would like a choice. The point of safeties is that you are certain you will be admitted, and your are certain that you could afford it. Of course, if you want a longer list so you could see which one offers you the best financial package, that is a good idea.

BTW, you may want to start using your key, you’re not E. E. Cummings.

PS. you cannot send PMs yet, since you do not have enough posts.

reaches are wharton, cmu, usc, columbia, barnard, boston college, ucla, cal, ucsd, uc davis

targets are nyu, northeastern, cal poly slo, uc irvine, ucsb, boston university, uw seattle and oxy

I think that UC Davis is more likely a target, while NYU, Northeastern, and Boston University are reaches. Basically, anything with acceptance rates under 25% is a reach. Maybe not high reaches, but you are more likely to be rejected than not.
