The following schools would be reaches for you:

Claremont McKenna
Columbia
UNC-Chapel Hill
U Penn
Pomona
Yale

But unless money or time is a problem for you, you dont necessarily need to take them off. There is always a chance you will get in.

You inclusion of small liberal arts colleges is strange. You seem to be looking for a preprofessional education. In general small liberal arts colleges provide a broad education, and then you are forced to eventually go to grad school to get a professional education. Most Pomona and CMC grads go on to grad school.

If you really want to study the things you want, and dont want to go to grad school, then you should pick a larger state school.
