Thank you for the advice and reassurance. It is helpful!

I have applied to many schools with the hope of getting into at least one Film Studies type of PhD program. I was trying to create a list of "reach" schools versus "safety" schools although I know all are hard for Phd programs. I will be graduating with my master's degree in the Spring in Digital Storytelling and my undergrad was in Media and Film. Any other suggestions for schools to apply to? Un of Mich, UT-Austin, Un of Rochester, Un of Wisconsin-Madison, Bowling Green Un, Indiana Un, Un of Florida, Texas Tech, Un of Pittsburgh I have a 3.9+ , but mediocre GRE scores (math is bringing it down). I have some very good papers, strong LORs and have presented at a few academic conferences. After reading many of the results and comments on here I feel like I might not get into any program. Any feedback on the schools/programs from above would be very welcome. I tried to come up with a reasonable/realistic list of schools. Any suggestions or additional schools or programs I should look at?
