Congratulations on all of your accomplishments so far! If you continue on this same trajectory, I think you would be a strong applicant for all of the schools on your list. As mentioned upthread, however, some of the schools like Barnard and Pomona have far more qualified applicants than they have spots. But, I think you would have a shot. I would only recommend you ED if it is a clear #1 choice and you have run the net price calculator and it is affordable for your family.

A few other schools you might want to consider include:

Bryn Mawr (PA ): Strong in math & sociology, and you seem to be a fan of women’s colleges. This is also in a consortium with Haverford and Swarthmore.

Providence (RI): This college is less than 2 miles from the Rhode Island state house, so there are plenty of opportunities for working on policy agendas. Offers an array of majors that seem to fit your interests, and it’s mid-size with about 5k students.

Trinity (CT): This school is less than 2 miles from the Connecticut state house, so again you have the public policy options and an array of other majors. There are about 2200 undergrads here.

College of New Jersey: A mid-sized school with about 6900 undergrads, this would be a likely admission for you and is about 3.5 miles from the NJ capitol.
