<p>So... how's my college list? Do I need more safeties/matches? And anyone want to classify each one (safety, match, low reach, high reach, etc)?</p>
<p>My choices are:</p>
<p>UCLA
UC Berkeley
NYU Stern (my school might have connections with NYU, since 20+ people get in every year)
CMU Tepper
Cornell CALS
UMich
Boston U
Rutgers </p>
