<p>I did say that I have no idea whether the cap applies to you or not, but thanks for the clarification. </p>
<p>If you don’t mind me asking, how exactly did you pick the colleges you are applying to? I am impressed by the sheer diversity of your list: the University of Pittsburgh with 20,000 students alongside Millsaps College with 1,000; urban Pittsburgh and rural Bowling Green; Mississippi vs New York. And kudos for selecting colleges by some criteria other than their US News rank! Too many pre-med students with high ambitions are obsessed with getting into the most “prestigious” undergraduate college on the planet.</p>
