I think you've got the profile, academically that is. But what I've found about smaller liberal art schools is that they're really interested in fit. So while you certainly fit the requirements, a lot depends on your essay and interview, and how you present yourself. That said, applying ED is really helpful, especially from the east coast, where they're much less likely to take kids RD.

Looks like you have a good shot to me. Just be sure to write a good essay.

It's hard to say. You have a lower GPA but a pretty good ACT score. When taking into account statistics you have a fair shot of getting in, but the number of applications and competition for getting in is going to be astounding, even more than last year. Your location also really helps, adds some geographical diversity. Try interviewing/visting the campus if you can.
