Do I even bother?

I was pretty well rejected last year, except for one school ranked around 50 in my field. I'm sending out some more apps this year (I've deferred), and I keep getting attracted to programs under 20 (where most schools I was rejected from lie).

 

Do I even bother sending out applications for schools that aren't ranked 25+? I've changed my application a bit, but I wasn't able to make it hugely better.

 

I hate pissing away money, but if I happen to do a lot better this round I'm going to feel really stupid for not shooting any higher.

Just try one or two. Can you ask for a fee waiver?

I would, but I doubt I qualify - I live at home and my parents' income is above median. 

 

It's still just the feeling that I'd be paying almost 100 per school just to have a minuscule chance...has anyone had a good second round?
