I agree with others that there is no way Duke or Emory are targets. Duke’s RD decision rate may be 4% or lower. Since you are an NC resident, maybe UNC is safety school for you. However, I am not sure you can consider Wake a safety. They will look at your high stats and know that you are using them as a safety and will probably not attend if admitted. I think Wake could potentially waitlist plenty of high stat kids who fall into that category. They did that to a friend’s son a couple of years ago.
