Schools like Drew, Lake Forest, Goucher, American are not only safeties, but you will probably get some money.
You have a shot at Northwestern, Wesleyan, Tufts, Carleton, Macalester. You can probably get into any other liberal arts school in the midwest.
You have a shot at all the schools you mentioned and should get into Sarah Lawrence.
