R, M and SC will probably take you. D, I and SB could go either way and the rest are unliklety.

apply broadly - maybe include SDSU and CPP as well.

good luck

Your list looks fine. Assuming CPP/Alabama and UCR are probably safeties/low Match schools?

7

ye they are
is it fine that i am applying to so many schools with all these majors?

8

10 schools is average if you are applying to the UC’s for competitive majors.

9

your list looks good. Since the CSUs share an ap, I’d add SDSU - it is a very good school
