If the later message with the additional schools was from OP, this is the full list.

IMO, there is nothing wrong the list, it’s the timing of the applications.  There should already be an acceptance from Pitt because OP’s kid should have applied in September.  The state schools UMD, University of Michigan, Wisconsin and UVA should have also been EA applications if possible. In some cases like UMD and Pitt it is harder in the RD round. Also, so many of the private universities are taking more of their class ED, you are looking at an even smaller acceptance rate RD.  My kid was looking at applying to BC (from Catholic school) a few years ago and in one of the info sessions they broke out ED from RD and the acceptance rate for ED was maybe 15% while overall back then it looked like 20-25% - that moved it from a low reach to reach if they applies RD and that was before adding in they were unlikely to be competitive for the limited merit and we would not qualify for FA - so it came off the list.

In the end, it will work out somewhere.  I hope OP comes back and lets us know how it turns out.
