Have you and your parents run the net price calculator on each school?

Also, check each school to see if it admits by major; if so, check if your major is a more selective one.

In order of most difficult to least difficult: probably

  1. Vanderbilt- Reach
  2. UVA- Low Reach
  3. UNC- Low Reach
  4. Emory- High Match
  5. Wake Forest- Match
  6. GW- Match
  7. UF- Low Match/safety unless your applying to engineering than match
  8. American- Safety
  9. James Madison- Safety
  10. FSU- Safety
#5

Edit: American really considers interest so that is definitely not a safety. Probably a match
