I agree with momrath..i would say aim higher i.e. Amherst ...j/k Williams is as good as it gets

Well I think I'll also apply to other LACs like Amherst, Wesleyan, Oberlin, Occidental, and maybe one Ivy like Dartmouth...what do you guys think my chances are at those schools

You should check out Swarthmore, too!

You are in at any of these. I would only apply EA, maybe to Harvard because you'll probably get in most places anyway. IF you like Williams I'd do these also:

Princeton
Amherst
Dartmouth
