You should apply to them if you have the time and desire to see if you can succeed - but you have to know you are not going no matter what.
Even the schools you list that do offer merit but it’s brutally hard to get - whereas a Rochester is more free with it. W&L is worth it for the Johnson scholarship - but it’s a small school and very unique. But free is free.
You might add a U of SC and apply to Honors - you’d definitely get great merit there.
Overall the list looks fine - but I’d assume looking at it with cost being an issue, you’ll be at a public in state. But if you’re willing to do the essays for the new list schools to try and get merit, go ahead. That’s where a Rochester will be a bit bitter - in they’ll have auto merit. You might take a look at Rice too. And Miami of Florida - which has stronger aid.
Good luck. You are very well thought out - so that’s good.
Once you look in Common App and load these schools, you can see what is required to get “competitive” scholarships.
