<p>I dunno why you arent applying to schools that are a little better with your scores.
good shots at all with northwestern/cornell being the hardest for you (low reaches)
add a couple of mid-high reaches

<p>^^^BUT, you may ALSO want to have at least one safety school, and/or financial safety, on your list as well. Perhaps an in-state flagship school?</p>

<p>Oh, I do have a couple safeties in mind, but I’m not worried about getting in so I didn’t list them here.</p>
