<p>I'm applying to 16 schools (10 in USA, 5 in CAnada). Just want opinions on whether this list is good:</p>
<p>USA:
Harvard
Yale
Princeton
Stanford
Duke
COlumbia
Cornell
Chicago
Johns Hopkins
Washington at St. Louis
Notre Dame</p>
<p>Canada (these will act as my safeties):
McGill
Queens
Toronto
Alberta
British Columbia</p>
<p>91% GPA and 2250+ SAT (based on official practice tests).</p>
<p>Forgot to say I'm a black male from Canada.</p>
<p>I’m not too knowledgeable about Canadian schools, but your list of US schools seems pretty good. Keep in mind that most of the US schools you are applying to are a very high reach for pretty much everyone applying there, but as a URM with great scores and GPA, I’d say you have a decent shot at most of them.</p>
<p>Haha thanks roboteer. I know the US schools are anywhere from high matches to high reaches so I’m using the Canadian schools as safeties. I should be able to get into all the ones in Canada.</p>
<p>I’ve never heard of anyone getting rejected by Canadian schools so those are very good safeties. Decent U.S. list too. ND and Hopkins seem to balance out HYPS.</p>
<p>Good luck! :)</p>
<p>My sense is that as an international student your US list consists of extremely high and very high reaches. Wait until you have actual SAT results. You don’t indicate your ECs. You’ll very likely need a very compelling one. Also you don’t make it clear whether you expect financial aid. If you do then all the US colleges are very high reaches.</p>
<p>What is your intended major ?</p>
