Yes, I realize that the chances are very slim. As far as top colleges go though, only the very most select would be able to meet my financial need as I see it. I have taken the SAT which I earned a 2250 on. I will be retaking it in the fall. I have an 800 on SAT Physics and SAT Math 2.
I would like to think I have a rather interesting background, although its rather tough to convey in one CC post, but would probably need its own essay. These small things I believe can add up when it comes to holistic admissions; simply not trying for these best of the best schools isn’t something that I would see as a good idea. “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.”
Either way, thanks for the info you gave about first-gen to college. I didn’t know that it was a credential I had until very recently, and for most of my life I’ve been competing and comparing myself to people without it. I feel a little better about my apps next year! 
EDIT: I also never new about this ‘common data set,’ so thanks for sharing this tool with me.
