<p>A little about me:</p>

<p>Schools that I know I'm definitely applying to are Boston University and NYU, but I'm having a really hard time finding other schools that I should apply to. I would like to stay in the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic region.</p>
<p>What do you think?</p>
<p>Any feedback would be absolutely wonderful. Thanks in advance!</p>
