I think another problem is a budget. Sounds like OP relatives would pay for top LACS but not for lower LACS. I am not sure what is with FA for this student.
Given that the student has no stats for high LACS, and maybe not enough FA for lower LACs, we have unpleasant picture. Schools like Juniata do not have ton of money, and definitely not for 3.4 GPA.
OP should be very careful not to end up with bunch of unaffordable schools. (Would you pay 50k for Juniata? )
So schools like St.Mary’s MD should be prioritized if affordable enough…
And OOS Tuition +Fees cost there is $47.5k too. Hardly affordable and probably no FA for OOS.
Therefore instate schools and not LACS should be focus in my opinion.
