Might be problematic. I’m high income, but my parents aren’t really planning on paying high tuition, especially for a private school. And I know I won’t qualify very much for financial aid. My parents don’t want me to go out of state either. But we’ll see, I won’t let anything deter me from applying for now.

Find out what their limit is and run (or have them run) the net price calculators on each school.

Where the results are unaffordable, and there are no realistic merit scholarships that can make them affordable, do not waste time and money applying.
