I think Harvard, Princeton and Yale are definitely major reaches. You lose nothing by applying to them though.

Other than the size, is there something in particular you didn’t like about Michigan? Reading your post, I think Michigan would be a great fit for you and Michigan’s size is actually easy to manage once you get used to it…which takes about a semester.

At any rate, given the content of your post, I’d say there are many schools that fit your interests. Here are a few:

Brown University
Cornell University
Duke University
Emory University
Georgetown University
Johns Hopkins University
University of Chicago
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
University of Pennsylvania
University of Virginia
Vanderbilt University

That’s a pretty good start I think. You need to find a couple of safeties and the rest is in place. I think Rutgers University-New Brunswick would be a good safety for you. Yes, I know, it doesn’t sound impressive, but it really is excellent in the Humanities.
