If she’s interested at all in the Historically Women’s Colleges, some are a great bet for merit aid. My DD and many of her friends received a lot of merit aid (between $10K-$40K) at Smith, Mount Holyoke, Bryn Mawr and Scripps. Although, these are small schools, they have great school spirit and most have partnered with other schools and run as a consortium or at least allow for cross-registration which raises the numbers and diversity considerably. The admissions rates for these schools also hovers at around 30-35% imo because they are trying to pull these smart women from the Ivies, and since your daughter is in the 25% of stats, she’d most likely get a lot of merit aid.
