Which other schools do you think I should look at?

Only the richest of private schools meet full need, though that is dependent on whether the expected family contribution that that is based on is something your family is actually able and willing to contribute.

Run the net price calculators on each school’s web site to see what kind of need-based financial aid they may come up with. If a school falls short on need-based financial aid, look for whether there are large enough merit scholarships – but then reach/match/safety would be based on the scholarships, not admission.
