You are more competitive than you’re giving yourself credit for. You seem very sensible and you have obviously worked very hard - your academic record is very strong. My D21 has similar objectives as you (possibly med school), and targeted privates that have a track record of being generous with merit aid. The schools that awarded her merit were (in order of highest merit aid to lowest): Tulane, Case Western, UVM, Davidson, Brandeis and Lafayette. Take a look at Univ of Richmond also. My D21 chose Tulane because she liked the environment the best and they offered her the most merit aid (full tuition). Good luck!
