另外这些缩写什么意思? 只有 A= accepted, WL = waiting list, 其它呢？

Red Flags: Violated my school's underage drug policy after being found in a dorm where marijuana was also present. I received a warning, completed an educational sanction, and am in "good standing" with the university.

I know my stats are high, but I am very concerned about my red flag and "cookie cutter" ECs. I am terrified I am stuck in the purgatory of not unique enough for T20, but stats too high for mid-tiers. Looking for advice on adding more mid-tier schools that are within my reach.

WashU
Yale
UChicago
Johns Hopkins
UPenn
Vanderbilt
Columbia
Harvard
Northwestern
Standford
Mayo
Cornell
UVA
Baylor
BU
UCSF
UCLA Geffen

UWash? (Lived there for a summer and worked at a very prestigious cancer research facility with ties to the medical school. Unsure if this will be enough to overcome their WWAI-state bias

any help or advice is greatly appreciated!!!
