Your school list needs to be revised because the schools you have listed in other posts (ex. MIT, CalTech, Penn, Columbia, Carnegie Mellon etc.) generally have acceptance rates under 10%. Other schools you have listed (ex. Berkeley, GATech) are difficult admits for out of state students. Even a perfect GPA with a rigorous program, perfect standardized test scores, great ECs etc. will not guarantee you admission into these schools. Simply put, these colleges do not have enough space to accept all of the well qualified candidates.
Every year there are one or two truly outstanding students who post on CC that they do not get into any college or only got into a super safety school they don’t want to attend because they only focused their attention on the super competitive high end schools. The goal for EVERYONE, not matter how great his/her qualifications are should be to choose a group of reach, match, and safety schools that appear affordable and that they would be happy to attend. From the list I saw I’d say all of the schools on your list are reaches for everyone with the exception of NYU which is probably a match assuming it is affordable (NYU has a reputation for not being generous in terms of financial aid).
