Are you at a private school now?[/quote]
Paleocon here. 
I'm a senior now. I've been in private school all through high school. If you look at my previous threads, I looked into a lot of schools. Here's where I'm applying.
Sewanee (ED)
Patrick Henry (EA)
Hampden-Sydney (EA)
New St. Andrews (EA)
I've visited all of these places, and it took me a while to make a decision on my top choice. Here are the factors that convinced me to apply to Sewanee.
1. The size and feel of the campus: Sewanee has everything I want. It's small, fairly preppy, and in an isolated location. I'll get a lot of individual attention from my professors, and get to know my fellow students very well. When I visited, I saw many guys dressed in coats and ties, poles, etc. The other good thing about attending a place like Sewanee is that I'll meet and get to know people who aren’t like me, and who disagree with me. Not everyone there is preppy, and there are many organizations on the campus that make me cringe (several ethnic student unions, LGBT clubs, a club for Democratic Socialists, etc.) But this is the way our society is today, so I'll have to deal with it sooner or later, attending a place like Sewanee will give me a good opportunity to examine my Far-Right views, and it will give other students the opportunity to interact with a true conservative. If I attend a place like Patrick Henry, everyone will agree with me on most things, and that's no fun. Maybe I'll start a Christian Nationalists club at Sewanee.  There are a few conservative professors there (who I've been in contact with) Sewanee also has a really nice campus with a lot gothic architecture. 
2. Reputation: Sewanee is by far the best school on my list. I think it was ranked 45 in USNWR this year for national LACs. If I go to a place like PHC or NSA, it' might make things tougher for me when I apply to grad school. 
Those are the 2 big factors in my decision. Sewanee has everything I want (great reputation, strong academics, small, preppy, good number of conservative students, and a really nice campus)
I think I have pretty good shot ED.
