Desperately need college suggestions

I applied ED to my first choice school (George Washington), but am completely lost at finding other schools to apply to if I get rejected. I’m looking for a medium to large school, hopefully an urban campus, and I plan to major in international affairs. It would be helpful if the school considered test scores more than gpa, since I am a bit higher in that area.
Stats:
3.76 GPA weighted (hs does not report unweighted)
37/217 class rank (slightly above top 20%)
ACT: 33 composite (34 for the few schools that do superscore)
Taken all honors and AP classes, will have done 7 AP’s by the end of HS and 4 additional college-level courses
Pretty good EC’s, most notably advocating for the creation of a girl’s varsity ice hockey league, and captaining the inaugural team
My senior year grades also demonstrate an extreme upward slope, last quarter I had a 4.41 GPA with nothing below an A-, and so far it looks like that will stay the same for second quarter

Does anyone have suggestions for schools that would be a good fit for me?
