I think that you have very good chances at some of those scholarships. Do you know how many are awarded at each school? Are hundreds applying for a small number of awards?

I’m also wondering if you’re applying to these schools because you need a lot of merit money, and won’t qualify for FA. Is that the case? If you don’t win any of these highly competitive scholarships, will you still be ok for college?

If you definitely need lots of money for college, then you need to apply to a few financial safety schools that will certainly award you merit scholarships for your stats.

But, if you’re financially set whether you win a scholarship or not, then great! You will surely get accepted into schools like USC, Vandy, and UCs. You also have an excellent shot at getting accepted into your other reaches.
