Hello!

You should apply to the entire T-14 except Yale and Stanford. Your chances at Y and S aren't going to be very good, but if you're feeling lucky, might as well throw them an app too.

Here's a breakdown of your chances roughly:

Y and S: Less than 5%
H: A little better than Y/S, so maybe 10-15%
CCN: 50% at each

Probably in or waitlisted CCN and down... Harvard is definitely possible. You would get some serious money from schools just outside t-14 such as Texas, Vandy, and WUSTL...

If I'm not mistaken GW's money offer comes a little after the acceptance.

With those stats I wouldn't apply lower than WUSTL if my LORs were good and I wrote killer essays... Blanket every school and then take HYSCCN or the most reasonable financial offer.
