Answer 1

You have a good set of credentials going; keep up the good work.

You should check out www.collegeboard.com, www.princetonreview.com, the Fiske Guide to Colleges (book; from library -- school or local/public) as well as the US News and World Report college rankings (can subscribe online for $16ish a year...)

You need to narrow down what you're looking for...big school, smaller school, urban/rural, east/west/north/south; what sports involvement would you like to have, etc. You've asked too broad a question here.

That said, solid schools that are not "Ivies" that you might want to look at: Williams, Amherst, Stanford, Duke, University of Virginia,

Best of luck to you.
