I agree with gekkoman. If you researched Dartmouth for even 10 minutes, you would know that it should be on your list. It is an Ivy League school that has access to the outdoors – including mountains. To (arbitrarily) quantify Dartmouth’s academic excellence, I will say that U.S. News ranked Dartmouth #1 in undergraduate teaching, which means it edged out even the renowned, allegedly unparalleled Princeton undergraduate program.

I need not go into more detail at this point. To be honest, going by the statistics, it’s likely that you won’t get in. For now, focus on getting in. Apply to a wide swath of schools, and pray that you get into one of the really competitive ones. If you do – which I hope will be the case, since you seem like an intellectually curious person – then come back to this sub-forum, and let us convince you why Dartmouth is the best place to be!
