You can remove these schools which accept few non residents with no connection to the state or region- Oregon & Virginia Tech. Emory, UCSF and UCLA are reaches. You should receive several interviews from the rest of your list.

Thank you for the reply! Do you think I should apply to more reaches? Or is my list pretty solid?

There is no reason to add more reaches. You will be very busy with the secondaries for the schools you already have.
