You're good fam. Wouldn't apply to half of those schools due to cost though. I think applying to columbia is a waste of money for you.

Agreed - Get rid of Columbia, NYU, and USC

Stats are on the lower side for the UCs, and the average LORs may hurt you, so honestly, contrary to above, I'd probably keep NYU, USC and MWU (AZ?). Also, Stony requires all your pre-reqs be done at the time of application, and Rutgers doesn't accept AP credit.

Thanks so so much! Do you think I have a chance for any school on the list?

Like Western in CA or USC are top for me

You do have a chance at every school, but no one for sure can say how strong that chance is. Just make sure your PS and your supplemental essays are strong and help you stand out.
