OP,
ever heard of “Tufts syndrome”? I’d be VERY careful to be VERY enthusiastic about letting each admissions office know that you would LOVE to attend their college, particularly your “safeties”. No college wants to feel like the “safety” option to a top student, who would likely be accepted at higher ranked colleges and end up NOT attend their college, if they accepted you. Hence the reputation that certain lower ranking colleges often reject top students [Tufts syndrome] .
