I have a strong acadmic record, with AP classes and about a 1390 on the SAT, (96 average freshman and sohpmore years, by Senior year I expect it'll drop to about 92 from all 4 years, due to AP classes not being weighted.) I'm looking for a smallish liberal arts school (around 2,000, as much as 5,000 or so), which would have strong academics (some prestige,) especially in English, yet would have plenty of down-to-earth, genuine people, as opposed to being composed of homogenous snooty "rich kids". Also, I would like it to be in the Mid-Atlantic or New England States (somewhere in the Northeast). I can't tell you how much I would appreciate some advice/answers. Anything from "safety" schools to "reach" schools would be great! Thanks so much!

You should consider the four liberal arts colleges in the Five College system in the Pioneer Valley, Massachusetts.
These are Amherst College, Smith College (women only), Mount Holyoke College (women only) and Hampshire College. They are all strong with down-to-earth students. They also come with the advantage that you can take classes at the other three plus the Univ. Massachusetts at Amherst without any special requests during your years there.

Hillsdale College, in Michigan, is small, top-notch, and unique in that it accepts no government money.
You should check it out. They have a free newsletter called "Imprimis" where each month a single, long article on an important topic or issue is discussed. Good reading.
I attended Texas A&M but I'd be proud to send my kids to Hillsdale.
