Columbia and Stanford aren’t technically legacies. UVA you’ll probably get just because you’re from VA. But Brown/Columbia/Georgetown are all tossups. You MIGHT have a bit of help at Harvard with that legacy.

UMich, GMU, and UC Santa Cruz are good safeties. And UMich is probably a good match.

Your numbers are fine. What you need to do is convince someone that you deserve to go to the tougher schools. And Stanford is a killer out of state. I know a kid who had a four generation legacy, had a brother attending, amazing ECs, and great scores who was straight up rejected this year. And another girl I know who was accepted early to Harvard was waitlisted.
