Choice of major and merit/acceptances? [NY resident, 4.0 GPA, 1520 SAT, <$50k; art ECs/portfolio but does not want art major]

Based on my kids, she should get $16,000 a year from UMASS. SUNY Bing came in cheaper for my daughter than in state Rutgers, and she had a B in HS freshman year, and a 33 act. It was on the short list (ended up at Clemson for more $, only $10,000 a year in merit, but every year they keep giving her more). I think Bing is a safety, and a good one.
