I was in your shoes last year.

If your school has Naviance or past admission records (ask your GC)
to these 14 colleges study them and see if you fall in the cluster of
acceptances. Do not apply to more than 2 safety schools. Eliminate the
other safeties from your list. On match schools use the Naviance to
eliminate the easier matches. You should be able to get your overall list
down to 6-8 at this point.
