Is this range affordable for your family? I agree with tsbna44 that we need to know your budget to be most helpful. Your budget is going to drive your list.

Since it’s highly likely you will be NMF, do any of the schools with large NMF scholarships appeal to you? Alabama and Tulsa as tsbna noted but more here: Big merit NMF/NMSF schools and their specialties

For categorization I also think you are a bit optimistic even considering the school you are at. But, I defer to your HS counselor for the best categorization, and I expect your school uses a program with scattergrams like Naviance/Scoir/etc, so use that tool as well.
