My daughter (current high school senior) had very very similar criteria. Her non-negotiables were beautiful walkable campus in or near a city. She also wanted a school that was strong in the humanities and social sciences that was medium-sized or large (no small LACs). Proximity to skiing was also a nice bonus! Here was her final list:
Fordham
Boston College
Northeastern
American University
Denver
USC
Loyola Marymount
McGill
She also looked at, but decided not to apply to: Tufts (too much of an LAC feel), Boston University (too urban, no campus), Elon (too remote), Santa Clara (bad tour, didn’t seem “fun”), Wake Forest (hated Winston-Salem), NYU (too urban no campus).
She ultimately applied ED1 to BC and got in, so it worked out! She had a 3.87 uw/ 4.4 weighted, and a 33 ACT. I do think BC was a reach and she was fortunate to get in, but her stats are pretty similar to your daughters, so apply. I think ED really helped my daughter, so if it is a first choice, and it works financially, that would probably be a boost.
