Scared of making a mistake

I am scared of making a mistake. I have a couple faves on my list, but reality is, I have not been able to visit many schools. Sometimes, I see or read about a school and I wonder if that one needs to be on my list. Financial aid is important, but I should qualify, so a school that meets need is best. The only schools firmly on my list are Carleton and Rice, with A&M, Austin College, and St Olaf being second choices. I have a whole slew of schools that look good, but I do not know much about to know if I should maybe apply to them, or beg a visit to see them (not likely to happen unless I give up my trip to MN in Oct, which I would do if I thought there was a good place worth looking at instead). Davidson College, Swarthmore, Haverford, Williams, Bowdoin, Whitman, Pomona, Harvey Mudd, the list goes on.
