I think you're fine. These are pretty good scores.

Kind of up to you honestly. If You’re right on par with the averages of most schools. Where you apply will be crucial. If I were you I’d apply to ~12 schools

Looks pretty good actually. I’d drop out NYU and USC but that’s just because the tuition is astronomical IMO.

I would say add Case Western, UDM and the MW and take off USC and NYU.
