I agree that you need more matches and fewer huge reaches. Perhaps USC? Emory? Rice? Tulane?

You mostly have research universities on your list…how do you feel about LACs inside or outside of a consortium? If you’re female, you might want to look at women’s colleges. Do you have any clear favorites? If so, and if $$ isn’t a big concern, consider applying ED.

Adding UCs as safeties requires no effort – just checking the box and writing the check.

One of the things I would look into are accommodations. Do you sign? If so, will the school provide ASL interpreters? Might you need a notetaker or can you get access to professors’ class notes if your hearing loss causes you to miss some of the material? You’ll need a school with strong Disabled Student Services to advocate for you.
