Hey andresjaramillou,
Thanks for reaching out to me. my honest opinion about the choice of schools that you put forth is this – that you are aiming too low, set your goals higher. The reality is that you should have a good mix of schools from across the top 15.
Other than that, I cannot really provide you too much specific advice as to what school in your specific list would be the best choice. This is because I do not know what your goals are – which means I do not know how appropriate a school would be, given its individual strengths and weaknesses.
Let me know a little bit more about your goals and I will try to help you sort this out.
Respectfully,
Paul Lanzillotti
