按照chatgpt給出的list當初熊孩子的申請單子上有兩所reach: #0和barnard，
Reach Schools (highly selective, <10% admit, but you’re competitive)
• Harvard, Yale, Princeton – strong for leadership + arts, open doors in any field
• Stanford – perfect fit given dance, leadership, and entrepreneurship
• UPenn Wharton – your Wharton LBW tie-in makes this a natural reach
• Columbia / Barnard – Barnard connection + strong arts + NYC dance scene
• MIT (if leaning more entrepreneurship/innovation, though less arts-oriented)
Target Schools (good chance, but still competitive)
• Duke – strong for business, arts, and student leadership
• Northwestern – flexible double-majoring, strong dance + business
• USC (Marshall + Kaufman School of Dance) – fantastic for both business & dance
• NYU Stern – business powerhouse, NYC location, also great for arts
• Carnegie Mellon – if interested in arts management or applied business/arts combo
• Emory – good business + leadership culture
Likely / Safety Schools (high admit probability, but still strong programs)
• UC Berkeley (Haas) – top business, close to home (though very competitive in-state)
• UCLA – strong overall, good for arts & leadership
• University of Michigan (Ross School of Business) – very strong business, big school spirit
• Boston University (Questrom) – strong business + performing arts opportunities
• Santa Clara University (Leavey) – smaller, strong business, Bay Area connections
• Pepperdine – you already have ties there, strong leadership/community values
Overall strategy:
• Apply to ~3–4 reaches (Wharton, Stanford, Harvard, maybe Columbia).
• Apply to ~4–5 targets (USC, Northwestern, Duke, NYU, Emory).
• Apply to ~2–3 likelies/safeties (UCLA, UMich Ross, Santa Clara).
