Floridamerit

I am a national merit finalist and I have a question. I have selected a first choice school and my parents accepted the presidential scholarship at a good school. I got a 790 on the CR and my intended field of study is law. Should I just stick with the school my parents selected or should I be submitting applications to other schools as well. I am happy with the quality of the school, the opportunities there and the leadership. My only concern is being two states away from my family in Florida. If I wanted to receive admission packets from the other national merit schools, what is the fastest way to notify schools that I am interested? Any help would be highly appreciated.
