<p>You are not wasting money but you would be wasting an opportunity, if you didn’t apply to these schools. You are a competitive applicant at all, just make sure you have a financial safety as well.</p>

3

<p>You don’t need a new SAT with your 36 ACT. You will need two SAT II Subject Tests. With those, you are all set–good luck!</p>

4

<p>No, you are not wasting money by applying.</p>

5

<p>Your prospects of admission appear more favorable than those of the average applicant. (That holds for every college on your list.)</p>
