What sorts of similarities are you looking for? What factors are most important? What major are you interested in?

Well, almost any school is similar to the ones you've mentioned in some way. Letting us know what factors matter to you will help us mention schools that might be more in line with what you want.

Reed College in Portland, Oregon comes to mind.

Cornell and Stanford supposedly have similarities in philosophy and organization. Stanford was founded (or maybe had as first President) by a Cornellian on the Cornell model. Unfortunately, poor Stanford is plagued with monotonously warm, sunny climate. Chicago is a selective university with a powerful grad school that attracts pure intellectuals. It might be comparable to some of the Techs but Chicago is pretty unique.
