Schools "like" Cornell?

<p>So it is obvious that no school is "like" Cornell. Just out of curiosity, where is everyone else applying other than Cornell that undergoes a less competitive admissions process?
I need help figuring out some safety/target schools with the same academic and social vibe like Cornell, that aren't necessarily Ivy League or extremely competitive. Specifically with admissions requirements that have slightly lower SAT's and a higher acceptance rate.
Any suggestions/ opinions on this would be really appreciated!!! I'm probably not the only one who is worried about not getting in ED and needs a few back up options.</p>

<p>Depends on what you want to go for</p>

<p>UVM … multiple varied colleges within the university … similar size … great (isolated) college town in the northeast … a bit of a laid back hippy vibe to the town (and many students). And if you’re a solid Cornell candidate you’ll get merit aid at UVM.</p>
