a Tier 2 school with Tier 1 students that will give your daughter a merit scholarship. Additionally, she will thrive in an environment composed of smarter, highly motivated students. She wants a small to medium sized university.

Your summary makes me think of this fairly recent post by @LionsTigersAndBears which notes that William & Mary is rated 5 pens by Fiske (the highest academic rating), while having a significantly higher acceptance rate than all the others in that category. Plus, it offers merit scholarships.
