UPenn and NYU look really out of place on that list, but they are good schools

What kind of URM are you?

[BDChairman]

Black Male, yeah I would definitely put them in my reach category

[JamMasterJ]

lower T14 is pretty likely. You may get money at somewhere like Georgetown or Cornell

URM cycles are unpredictable, but I think you have a good shot at everything outside of the T14 (probably with decent scholarships). If your put together a really good application with a solid PS and DS, I think you stand a reasonable chance at getting one of Penn, NYU, or Columbia. Lower T14 are probably pretty good "target" schools.

This looks pretty solid.

I don't think you have a thing to worry about if your goal is to get into ONE of those schools.
