I feel your pain! This seems like where we were a year ago. Remember that many high school students experience a tremendous amount of growth their senior year. What can seem like an obvious choice or type of school can change in an instant.

My D had similar scores but a lower GPA and significant unique accomplishments with ECs.

Gettysburg was generous. $15k. She demonstrated interest and loved the school.
Elon was very generous with a fellowship and scholarship.

American gave $0. I have heard that Villanova has few merit scholarships but you never know.
Ultimately she chose Fordham University. Merit aid was generous. She applied to Fordham on a whim and is now very excited to start the next chapter of her life.
Good luck.
