Another idea would be to add a couple of schools that give full ride scholarships that are not National Merit based. A lot of these are top schools, but unfortunately most of these top schools offer only a few full rides, so would be very low probability even for a strong student like yourself. A school with much better odds is Washington & Lee, where 10% of accepted students get the full ride. It is a very strong liberal arts college, but some downsides are its lack of diversity and name (the Lee refers to Robert E. Lee, there are recent threads on here about that name and his history.) 80 Colleges With Full-Ride Scholarships
