What do you guys think of this list? I'm wondering if 10 schools will be enough and if I have a good range of schools (ones that are easier to get into with my stats, plus a few more difficult ones/ivy league schools).
Any schools I should take out or swap into this list?

Thanks in advance for all your help!
 
You have really good stat!!
If you apply early, I think 10 schools will be good enough..
However, if you really want to add the school, I recommend UKenn(out of state friendly school)
I am only applying 5 schools and I am also in Georgia
My stat is 4.0GPA and 21AA
Good luck!!
