New England Schools for a B+ Student?

Hi everyone! Basically, I’m a New Jersey student who’s applying to colleges in the fall. My dream school would be something along the lines of a preppy-WASP-New England school (sort of like a Princeton but with way less prestigious admissions requirements). My mom works at Rutgers and so I get a free tuition, and although I understand how lucky I am, I really want to try and leave my home state. I already have my state schools down that I want to apply to, but I’m trying to find private schools that will give me enough financial aid in order to convince my parents to let me go (they’re the ones paying and won’t want to take out any loans-which I understand). I’m trying to stay in the Northeast Region (nowhere below Maryland and West of PA). Since my mother is very concentrated on having me continue our “Jewish ancestry”, she would never let me apply to anything with “St.” in the title. I have a B+ weighted average, which isn’t great, but I haven’t taken the SATs yet and am studying rigorously for when I take it June. My leadership roles include being on Choir Council (Choir version of Student Gov.) and Tri-M (music honors society), as well as previously being in an internship with a Marketing company. I am freaking out because I am worried I won’t get into a school deemed “good enough” with my grades and might not even get into Rutgers. I am also looking to becoming a Business major. Any recommendations of Preppy-New England schools for B+ Students???
