Seconding @twogirls - on privates and OOS you need to run the NPC.
Obviously, IU works - it’s $26K for tuition, room and board. And the student will get in.
BU (not U of B), Notre Dame, and Vandy - you need to run the net price calculator.
Wisconsin won’t come close budget wise - it will be near 2x your budget - lose it.
So if she might want nursing, you need to find a school that offers it. Nursing comes both in direct admit and not direct admit (hoops to jump through once there).
But getting back to price point - you have other in-state such as Purdue, Ball State, etc.
As for OOS, schools like WVU - you need a 3.6 and 1200 SAT for nursing, direct admit - and while the price is $46K, but the student will get $17K merit.
U Kansas - with the unweighted, would be about $31K. If they use the weighted GPA, would be below $31K so you might email and ask them if they use weighted or unweighted.
U of Alabama - the SAT is too low but some TO students have gotten the merit requiring an SAT - so it’d be worth an app. It could go down to lower 20s.
Central Michigan is under $30K full price and has merit. W Carolina too. Both will be closer to $20K than $30K.
You might also check the midwest exchange - add to Kansas a school like Nebraska.
The only sure acceptance on your initial list is IU - BU, Vandy, Notre Dame are highly unlikely, especially as a TO.
All the schools listed may come in at cost (you’d have to check if any interest you). Good luck.
