Looking for some Opinions

The type of schools I see myself at are:

SUNY Geneseo
Bowdoin College
Bates College
Hampshire College
Bennington College
Bard College
Skidmore College
Eugene Lang

Sadly, most of these are reaches or match/reaches.

My stats are:

GPA: 92.9 Unweighted 95.6 Weighted
SAT: 570CR/690M/640W
Top 15% of Student Body
E/C’s: Solid List, lot’s of community service, Honor’s Society, etc.

What other schools are there, similar to those listed? I really like the type of students these schools attract, and am looking for an intellectual environment.

What I really need to know, though, is which can I get into, and what are some safer schools like these?

P.S.: How are my chances at the schools that don’t require the SAT? (ie Bates, Bowdoin, Bard) I wrote what I would consider a very uniqe and creative essay (not trying to brag or anything) and think it would help me stand out.
