<p>Hello...........!!???</p>

<p>Er, why don't you narrow down that list to colleges you've actually researched and would like to attend? Honestly, 17 is ridiculous. Shoot for 8. (I notice you have all 8 Ivies in there, too...)</p>

4

<p>If you're an international student, you are NOT a URM. Unless you're Mexican or Canadian, which pretty much means you're American in top college admissions.</p>

<p>You'll need a higher SAT I, methinks.</p>

<p>HYPSM and the other Ivies, JHU, Duke, Berkeley are all reaches. So's UChicago.</p>

<p>UMich is a match.</p>

<p>I have no idea about NYU and BU.</p>

<p>NYU is a match, BU is a safer match</p>

<p>Moderator, this poster has started 10+ chances threads over the past month, often with conflicting information (SAT scores, legacy status, URM status). Please check their posting record and take appropriate action. Thank you. EM</p>
