With Wellesley on your list (which doesn’t provide merit aid) I’d suggest strongly considering Bryn Mawr, which does provide some merit aid. Your daughter has strong stats so is likely to get some merit aid at schools that offer it. Many of the schools on your list don’t. Bryn Mawr has its own CS department but its also in a Bi-College consortium with Haverford which has a very solid CS department of its own. Your daughter would be able to take classes on both campuses and even major at either. Additionally, it is part of the larger Quaker consortium which includes UPenn and Swarthmore. The campus is lovely, too.

I would suggest amping up the number of schools that offer merit aid on your daughter’s list if that is a financial goal for your family.
