College Decisions for Undergraduate Class of 2022

Finalizing my college list for EA and ED applications towards the end of this year. Ideally, I'd like to enter an IB career after college in NYC (or Chicago) but I have looked into London opportunities also. I'm seeking input on the list I have, as well as adding or removing schools. Thank you!

In no particular order: Penn (definite reach), Cornell, NYU, UMichigan, Illinois Urbana-Champaign, UWisconsin-Madison, UVA, Williams, Claremont McKenna, Middlebury, Wesleyan, and Colgate (All out of state). Bath or Manchester for the UK.

Any reason why Cornell AEM isn't included? I applied to a similar batch of schools and am currently in the program; arguably better placement stats than 90% of your list right under Stern/Ross/Penn

I am the real boss baby.
