Considering your high SAT/ACT/AP scores, I am going to assume you have a high GPA. You may want to consider UPenn and Cornell as other Ivy choices. For other possible schools, Emory, UMichigan, and UChicago may work for you. I would suggest you find one safety school to apply to (maybe a state school or a school such as Syracuse) because you should not need too many with your stats.

A school that is challenging, but is not too technical. The location of the school doesn’t matter unless it’s far away from a major city or it’s in the Pacific Northwest. The school should also be affordable.
