Why do you need additional schools? Are you not happy with any of the schools which have already accepted you?

3

For additional schools that might match your academic interests, try searching “20 Best Value Small Colleges for Sociology and Anthropology Degrees.” Haverford/Swarthmore, Vassar, Hamilton, Wesleyan and Pitzer are several that would seem to your general preferences.

UVA EA results don’t come out until January.How do you have an offer already?

5

Just a hunch, but I’m guessing you won’t get into Oxford, Stanford, Dartmouth, Brown, Duke, UCLA, UVa, Georgetown, Williams, or UCB. Decent shot at the rest, especially because your intended major is relatively unusual. Even if you get into only half of the others, you will still have a dizzying variety to chose from. Relax. (Also, there’s no apostrophe in. St. Andrews.)

6

Also puzzled as to why you need more schools. You already have some great offers.

Have you visited the UK schools? There is a world of difference between UCL and St Andrews.

(Also, “real campus” is subjective. People will tell you Oxford doesn’t have a “real campus”, but if course it doesn’t feel like that. LSE doesn’t really have a campus from what I can recall either so it’s surprising you applied?)

7

Why did you apply to Georgetown’s School of Foreign Service & LSE if you want to major in anthropology ?

I pinpoint these two schools because of your decisions received.

If the OP thinks he may have under-explored colleges that could be great fits, then I don’t think the question pertains to “more” but rather “more suitable.”
