I agree with these admission estimates, but as someone whose recent graduate also needed “very generous financial aid” and looked at many of these same schools, I would say that Vandy and possibly UNC are the only schools on the list likely to be affordable for OP. And they are very high reaches. If OP is looking for alternatives beyond public universities in Arkansas (likely to be the most affordable options), I second other posters who suggest OOS publics like Kansas, Mizzou, Okla St, Miss St, New Mexico, and Arizona with strong merit awards that might bring the cost down to a manageable level.
