Try some of the lower tier schools. I think you will find them more academically diverse and not as pressure filled. They may be a better fit for you. Some of them also have scholarship programs - Wyoming Seminary has a scholarship test you can take.

I am very familiar with Seminary. It has a large day population, but it is still very diverse, with a large international population. It has a small, suburban campus, but a very dedicated faculty. The school is in the process of building a new Arts facility that looks impressive, and many of its sports teams regularly win state titles. The school offers several merit-based scholarships in addition to generous financial aide. If you need more info, feel free to PM me.

I don't think Bs will work for top tier....

You would be wise to broaden your field. Add at least two schools that you can safely get into. Most of the schools you mention are nearly 1 out of 10 chance for even the most qualified applicants. Please consider Andover, Exeter, and Choate as reaches or even far reaches.
