College suggestions for Biology - good merit

I’ve been doing plenty of reading on CC about colleges, but finally decided to post for some help. My rising senior is leaning towards Biology/Public health in some form. We can do up to $15,000 a year (for the right school) but are heavily relying on outside scholarships and merit aid. We are in the midwest. Ideally, she would like a medium size school (harder to do with the schools that offer the most merit, but I’ve read honors colleges make it seem smaller). She’d love to go to North Carolina, but it seems they really limit their OOS students.

Basic stats:
3.93 UW gpa
National College Board Recognition program
1 AP class ( all her school offers)
6 Dual enrollment college classes

Already considering:
Univ. Of Arizona
Univ of Wisconsin-Madison
Univ. Of Iowa
Univ of Nebraska-Lincoln
St Olaf
Wake Forest University
Case Western (may be a reach)
Univ. Of Alabama-Birmingham (but concerned about safety of area)
