Please review and provide feedback on my college list

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi
I am a junior female school student and finalizing my college list.
I am 4.0 student, 35 composite ACT score, 10 Essay writing score both in ACT & SAT, 2210 SAT with 800 writing, 2290 PSAT (so above cut-off on NMSF), Speech and Debate extracurricular with great tournament wins, volunteer in Health Clinic.
I want to do BS/MD programs and also have some backup options for BS programs.
I also want to keep AZ local options.
Can you please provide feedback on whether this list makes sense?
Should I move some of colleges around in this list?
My long term goal is becoming a Surgeon but I think that I might end up in some Research field in Medicine eventually.</p>

<p>I also need to keep my costs/year to $20K or less.</p>

<p>Way too long of a list…
It makes sense to apply to a lot of BS/MD programs since they are so selective, but for the others you should really cut that list down.</p>

<p>I am planning to only apply to the 1st 14 (Not the Also considering) on the list.<br>
When I list “Also considering”, wanted to get feedback on whether any of them needs to displace the 1st 14 on the list.</p>
