Use the SUNY app (unless you now have to use the common app. )

FYI- My son has been in Buffalo and they’ve had less snow that usual these last three years. Global warming? Also has UB shuttles to off campus sites day and night.

I’d pick UB- state university with great reputation and then either Brockport or Plattsburgh- both a state college. Brockport is near Rochester (you’d use that airport), don’t know about Plattsburgh for flying. The U’s tend to have higher stats to get in than the SUNY colleges. Apply, get accepted then take a look. (What one person likes, others may hate. My son hated, hated, hated Geneseo but kids love it and is the highest regarded SUNY college- husband loved it when he took son!) Buffalo is not far from Toronto and kids tend to visit. Ski club is also popular as it probably is at all the upstate SUNYs. Id’ still promote Buffalo to you as they have so many Health Science programs in case you want to change your major. Very diversified student body (ie your Asian/African American heritage) which I also expect is higher than at the SUNY colleges.
