These are all good ones, especially coming from a Catholic school. I’ll throw in Gonzaga if she really wants to leave the area. And Butler is a great midsize school in Indianapolis.

Yes, the GPA here is a little below their median. Not by a lot, but being test optional also definitely makes it a reach. I thought about mentioning that ED would bring it more into reach, but it seemed a little audacious to suggest a binding application in the first mention of the school.

They’re also need-aware, so being full pay could help, especially in the ED cycle.

Also take a look at Syracuse University if school spirit and sports is important.

These are schools that got an “A” for athletic life/enthusiasm on Niche’s website, which ranks this category according to student survey respondents, I believe. Schools that I remembered were already or that are already on your list were italicized. The ranking is where the schools ranked nationally in the category for “athletics.”

Agree that Sacred Heart, Dayton, Xavier, and Miami OH are worth checking out with your criteria. Adding Merrimack (MA).

Quinnipiac is a good bet. Amazing hockey team too for sports spirit.

Might be of interest to you, and certainly much lower cost for you, there are tons of schools with nursing programs in MD, lots of public ones. Best Nursing Schools in Maryland.
