It is hard to recommend a college based on the criteria that you have listed. The best undergrad research in the midwest is probably going to be at a big state school. Marquette is too big. Is Northwestern too big? But, it isn’t a safety. U Chicago might be a good choice, but I don’t like UChicago. You would pay too much without getting the college experience, and I don’t think it would be a safety for you. Closer to a match.

Yale is a reach like everyone else, but you definately have a shot. Wash U and Carnegie mellon are good schools for you to apply to, probably in the match to match/reach range.
