You might want to consider some of the midwestern LACs: Carleton, Grinnell and Oberlin. They are less preppy than those on your list right now, but also somewhat easier to get into. Grinnell also offers merit aid without financial need. If you are into music, Oberlin is a fantastic option, due the the associated music conservatory. Carleton has a national reputation among LACs comparable to Bowdoin, though again, less preppy.

Vassar is a great school, but it is in Poughkeepsie - an urban area.
