There are so many great suggestions mentioned here. I have added several to the list to discuss with her:
Denison: we visited and she likes it, but it didn’t make the list because the NPC comes in a bit higher (14k) than some other’s on the list, but we might reconsider.
Ohio University HTC: we visited here and she did not like the campus as much as I did. Our visit was just a general campus visit, and we didn’t learn much about the honors tutorial college, so maybe exploring that a bit more might influence her opinion. I think it might be a good idea to add it back just for the comfort of having another safety on her very reach-y list.
Franklin and Marshall: in budget, but it wasn’t a favorite. Her stats make it a more likely admit, I think, than many on her list, but I don’t know how much our financial need would influence the admissions decision.
Washington and Lee: the fact that the school has retained the name of the Confederate general is a big turn off for her. I have talked with her a bit about how the school has more recent commitments to diversity and inclusion, but she seems very firm in not considering it for this reason.
We will continue to explore some of the other suggestions mentioned! Thanks so much for the help!
