Unless your research is groundbreaking I think you should concentrate on more schools in the US NEWS 20-50 range. Take a good look at the US News list and pick a few schools that are similar to the ones you list as reaches. Explore them online and find some matches that you love. There aren’t really many matches on your list. Pick one (or 2) of harvard-yale-stanford-penn-columbia-brown. Keep WashU, Duke. Keep your matches. Add more UC’s. Then find some additional realistic matches that you love. Focus on those apps first! This is my advise. I think you’d be foolish to apply to 8 super reaches before you have completed really strong, well thought out applications and essays to more realistic schools.
