Roger,
Good to see you around, still giving things another go. You know the deal, you simply didn't apply to enough schools.
Why this year, if I may ask, are you hesitant to simply apply to a good number of schools? Costly I realize, but your stats are great, and assuming good
LOR's, a top 15 admit is
hardly out of the question
. Last year I applied to 12 and got into 2. Honestly, I think you need to set aside over $1k, or as much as possible, for everything and just submit a bunch of apps. I don't think five schools will cut it.
