I can’t find any valid or consistent rankings for undergraduate sociology majors. I’m already definitely applying to Berkeley, UCLA, and Northwestern. What other schools of similar caliber have good undergrad sociology programs?
Haverford, Vassar, Swarthmore, Hamilton, Wesleyan, Bowdoin, Barnard and Pitzer would offer strong sociology departments and represent the same selectivity range as your listed schools:

George Washington could be another option.
Also check schools in the Other Social Sciences column at:
@merc81 Thanks! Are there any non-liberal arts colleges with strong soc programs that you would recommend? I’m a bit worried about the cost and scholarship opportunities of liberal arts colleges.
@cli912 :
The UCs in general would be excellent for sociology, so even your core list of three schools seems to be highly suitable for your interests. Accordingly, you should probably add a few more from that group such as UC-SB.
Regarding LACs, their need-based financial aid tends to be the most well funded among schools of all types, so run their NPCs for your circumstances.
