One thing to consider is that it probably is important to make it clear in your application materials why the school is for you - not just that it is a great school and you would love to go there. E.g. they have a great program in Y and you absolutely love Y as demonstrated by your years of Y or that you never did Y before, due to lack of opportunity, but now, you absolutely must be involved in Y - which can be anything from an academic subject, to a sport to a club etc. The other thing is that 3 schools may be too short a list. You should research how many sophomores are typically accepted at each place you are applying to, and how many typically apply. If the websites don’t tell you - ask. This is not a secret that they should be unwilling to talk about. If it is very selective, I would make a broader search and try to include some places that have more openings.
