1. University of New Hampshire
2. Bucknell University
3. Dartmouth University
4. Belmont University
5. Appalachian State University
6. Elon University

8. University Of Vermont
9. university of rhode island
10. yale
11. boston college
Assuming you do well on your SATs, I'd say they're almost all within your reach. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 should be safeties or targets. Yale and Dartmouth will be reaches for you, unless they want you for your athletics–there are simply too many people for too few spots, and you're not the top of the top when it comes to academics. Boston College is likely a more realistic reach for you.
Good luck. I'd focus on finding some more target schools–ones that fit your grades, class rank, assumed SAT scores, and, most importantly, your interests.

From a story that was on WCAX last week, UVM (University of Vermont) accepted more college students than they have dorms for this year, so I would bet that your odds are good at getting in there. They said they always accept more than they can house because they expect a percentage of no-shows and in this case everyone showed.
