Location/Region: Northeast; UK; Toronto/Quebec; Bay Area
Major: MechE concentration aerospace
GPA: 4.0 (W) 3.75 (UW) 1580 SAT
Curriculum: Mid to High Course Rigor.
Size: medium sized campus. I prefer either urban areas or total wilderness. In terms of student body, > 2000 but < 10000 is a good metric I think?

Costs: financial aid is preferred, but I've won a few research comps and a couple scholarships so it's not really a priority.

Current list (In order of preference)

Harvard
MIT
Oxford
Northeastern
Columbia
Cornell
NYU (legacy)
UCL
UC Berkeley
UIUC

currently considering for safety:
rutgers (in state)
penn

additional: I would like somewhere with a decent party scene. The dorms should be pretty decent, and I want a very research & venture focused environment. That being said, I'm super flexible and ready to consider all options, even if they dont hit all listed criteria!

purduewould be a good choice for your list

also remember that safeties are not meant to be perfect, but good enough

your current list is all reaches for literally any applicant. You should try to get around 3 schools with an acc rate above 60%, and 3 above 30%
