<p>All the schools on your list, except UMCP, are reaches for nearly all applicants.
Every year, they reject some students with nearly perfect grades and test scores. If you doubt this, look up these schools in the College Confidential Stats Profiles.</p>
<p>Example (rejected for Swarthmore 2014):</p>
<p>Poster … SAT-M … SAT-CR … SAT-W … Rank … GPA
CC_Lurker … 800 … 800 … 800 … top 5% … 4.0
KaitHags … 690 … 740 … 800 … top 5% … 3.99</p>

<p>Not at all. But this does not necessarily work in the OP’s favor. It means excellent grades and scores usually are necessary but not sufficient for admission to these schools.</p>
<p>Possible “match” schools? Bates, Colby, Macalester, Whitman.</p>
