Backup Colleges to apply to?

<p>I'm currently looking for colleges to apply to, and I really like Caltech's atmosphere and feel. However, seeing as admission is unlikely, what are some similar schools I could apply to as backups that have a similar environment?</p>

<p>Similar in what sense?</p>

<p>If you are looking for a small college atmosphere with similar technical coursework, you can consider Harvey Mudd.</p>
