Sorry for spamming the LSAF thread all at once but hopefully these are questions useful to the entire community rather than just me.

Which schools are Why X particularly influential in admissions (whether it be YP or a slight boost if you are below medians). Currently I am splitting them up as such

Yes: Penn, UVA, Michigan, Duke, Northwestern

No: Yale, Stanford, Harvard, Columbia, Chicago, NYU, Boalt (Inc. in PS), Cornell, Georgetown


Is this prudent or am i shooting myself in the foot by either writing or not writing some of these?

understood, just trying to make sure i have my division of schools right - that im not missing any that look for one and that im not sending one to a school that isn't a fan of them (ie HYS)

I think your list is basically correct. Cornell has a really brief "why Cornell" section in the application, but you're only allowed to put in a few sentences.
