<p>Are any of these schools worth not applying to (i.e. completely out of my range)?</p>

<p>i don't think any of them are out of your range. you definitely have a chance at all. but you certainly shouldn't be accepting acceptances from the first block of schools on your list.</p>

<p>I think you're very qualified for most of your schools; some are slight reaches, but those are the Ivies. Ivies are hit or miss for EVERYONE. You'll get into college, just write the best essays possible.</p>
