You said she wants an LAC, and most on the list are not. I am not trying to be discouraging, but rather, realistic. You are looking for advice and we are giving you that. Yes, I think you need to rework most of your list.
I suggested Geneseo because it’s the only SUNY that’s effectively an LAC, albeit larger than a typical LAC. It used to be regarded as the SUNY honors school, though I think Bing and Stony Brook are overall more academically rigorous. Geneseo is a wonderful school though. I know several happy students there. They might offer merit too.
Syracuse offers limited merit aid. Its top awards will be for the best of the best, students they want to entice from HYP and the like. They are pretty stingy and your D’s test score isn’t going to tip the balance in her favor. You haven’t told us how much you can afford, but it’s $75k a year plus. She will not qualify for the biggest merit awards with her stats.
UMass Amherst doesn’t give much merit aid to OOS.
UNCCH is probably the same. Do they give any merit at all? Maybe to the most very tippy top applicants.
BU notoriously doesn’t give much merit, and then, usually to the cream of the crop applicants it’s trying to entice…like all the others.
Same for Lehigh.
In general, your D’s best chance of getting merit is to be in the very top of the top 75th percentile of accepted students. You can google ____ College Common Data Set and see the stats for admitted students. The best chance of getting merit is to apply to private colleges that are not super selective. BU, for example, is a reach for most these days. They are not handing out merit and are very expensive. Not a good option, unless you qualify for a lot of need based aid.
Can I suggest you start a new thread? Post in this same subforum. Give her stats and provide information about what you can afford, what your annual income is, what you expect her contribution to be. Explain that you need enough merit to cover $ , or need based aid to cover $_. Tell us what she wants to major in and what she is looking for in a college.
There are colleges she MIGHT get a full ride to, but they are unlikely to be any of the ones you mentioned.
Try colleges in the Midwest. Kalamazoo, Earlham, College of Wooster, Cornell (Iowa), or Lewis and Clark in Portland, OR. Maybe Eckerd in Florida. There are options, but prob not the ones you mentioned here.
ETA: Geneseo has communications.
