Some things to consider:

Does your daughter have high scores on AP exams and SAT Subject tests? If not, delete Georgetown/ Cornell.

Villanova’s significant merit award is the Presidential – there are very few given and without a high class rank and outstanding EC’s - very very unlikely.

As recommended by others - you should concentrate on the what schools will get her the merit award you need. I understand your family experience entering into the 8 hr rule but realistically - the vast majority of college do not experience that type of emergency. If that is truly your criteria – would be more logical to have her be near a major city where she could get an immediate flight home to the Philadelphia area rather than a 16 hr roundtrip drive.
