3.49/173 straight out of undergrad. Decent softs and good LOR. How does my list look? Is it balanced enough? Chances? (I have done LSN and LSP)

Big reaches: (would need to ED to have a shot)
Chicago
NYU

reaches:
Penn
Duke
Northwestern (no WE)

Target:
UVA
Mich ($?)
Cornell ($?)
Georgetown ($?)
WUSTL ($$?)
Vanderbilt ($$?)
UT($$?)

Safety:
Emory
BC
William and Mary
UNC
UF (instate)

Why are Penn and Duke reaches, but UVA and Mich targets? That doesn't really make sense...

There is a sentiment that Penn and Duke like higher GPA's. I think that's why OP put it that way.

I think the list looks more or less correct. Regardless, you should blanket the T14 and let the chips fall where they may.

OP, list looks good, but I would be surprised if UT offered much money. Most of there money seems to stay instate.

Even with in-state tuition would you be willing to attend UF? If not, I wouldn't even bother. You are certainly going to get into stronger schools.
