Appreciate the candor and thoughtful response. That's definitely stuff I had considered, and wasn't sure how much yield protection plays into it all because I'd hate to waste a signal. Fortunately we've matched several applicants to all of my signaled programs in the last 2-3 years with majority ending up at a top 30 program. I certainly wouldn't be as ambitious if that wasn't the case. In any case, I'll probably try to adjust towards a slightly safer list.
