What schools should I look into?

I was actually looking at both the schools you mentioned. Are top public schools such as UNC-CH, UVA, UT-Austin rather generous with their aid? Would I have a shot at getting in them? I was also looking at UW-Seattle, UI-Urbana Champaign, UM-Twin Cities and UC-Santa Barbara.

Would I have a reasonable chance at a top private school such as Emory, USC, Rice, or Georgetown?

Basically my short list of schools at this moment are:

University of Nevada - Reno
San Diego State
University of Washington - Seattle
University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
University of Texas - Austin
Notre Dame
University of Minnesota - Twin Cities
Boston University
Boston College
Wake Forest
University of Virginia
Vanderbilt University
Rice University
NYU
Cornell
UI-Urbana Champaign
UC-Santa Barbara
Colgate University
Georgetown University
University of Miami
Pomona College
UCLA
USC
Emory

Some are real reaches (Cornell, Georgetown…) which I should probably not fuss over and others I doubt I will receive enough aid to attend (NYU, Miami…). So what do you guys think about my odds at these schools in terms of being accepted and affordability.
You can be blunt in saying I have 0% at being accepted at Cornell. I appreciate honestly lol
