“No real cost constraints, although a college that meets need without loans is preferred”

I think that you need to nail this down more solidly.

As one example, Bowdoin (of course not a safety) current charges $55,822 for tuition. The total cost of attendance is close to $75,000 per year. Of course prices go up from year to year. With a 5% per year increase, assuming that you would start in September 2021, the cost could be getting close to $100,000 per year by the time that you graduate. That is a lot of money.

People here can suggest schools that will cost less than this. Depending upon how Bowdoin computes your need, it too might cost less than this for you.

You should run some NPCs and see how you and your parents feel about the results.

To be a “safety”, a school has to be affordable.
