Less selective, match/safety liberal arts colleges?

Hi!

It seems like LACs that are often mentioned on CC and the ones I tend to be drawn to are all extremely selective, admitting >25% or so of applicants. While I may apply to one of these schools to see what happens, I know it is imperative to apply to more matches and “safeties.”

What are some great liberal arts colleges that are more of a match/safety for a 3.8 GPA, 29 composite ACT that still have an excellent reputation, campus life, academics, etc? I will be retaking the ACT hoping for a higher score, but am wanting to have some realistic options on my college list. Perhaps places with an admit rate of 40-75% or so? Location in Northeast or on the west coast preferred but not required. No intended major at this point. Just looking for some general options at this point to get my list going. Many thanks!
