You might think about Yale too. It is bigger than you want but the residential college system there gives it a smaller feel.

I work 2 blocks from Yale and wander through campus to see the 'sights' during lunch. You sound like you would absolutely love this choice as long as you don't mind the cross country commute...

New Haven is such a fun small city.

I'm sure I'd love Yale, or pretty much any Ivy for that matter, but I don't think I'd get in. I have a lot of friends with perfect attendance and great recs and better SAT scores than me that got turned down from all the ivies. I will probably apply to these places because, well, 50$ is nothing, but I do want some realistic choices and definitely need to consider what my safety options will be. I hear they don't like the incompletes.

You need to list all of your scores in everything in order for us to have a solid idea of where you might get in.

Admission to the very best schools is always going to be difficult. That doesn't mean you won't get in, because for every one of your friends who didn't get in, you're going to hear about someone who you have no idea how they got there. Gotta have all the numbers though.
