Some of those are not need blind in admissions, though – so if you need aid, your odds of admissions goes down. I know this is Wikipedia, but I like this link – it shows the schools by categories pretty well:

Categories 1 & 2 will be the best options, and category 3 is good (but you probably want stats to be reasonably high there, as needing aid can lower your chances of admission).
I do agree that if you want to make a career in entomology, Cornell is clearly the place to be. My kid didn’t want to do that, but if she had, Cornell would probably have been very high on her list.
