Should I not apply for a school just because I don't think I can get in?

<p>If you like them less than your safeties, then there is no reason to apply to them.</p>

<p>On the other hand, if the schools you like better than them are non-safeties, then they may be worth applying to if their net price calculators indicate reasonable affordability. But they would likely be a reach, given that your SAT CR and W are in the lower 25% of entering freshmen at those two schools.</p>
