Help me build a college list: top 1% student

[Dis3456]

Here is where my daughter ended up applying:

Bama - should get 5 years tuition, 4 years housing, plus annual stipend
Mississippi State - full COA for 4 years
UCF - Close to full ride, not sure of exact details
UGA - Free tuition as in-state student
Georgia Tech - Free tuition as in-state student
TCU - full tuition merit scholarship available
SMU - full tuition merit scholarship available
Notre Dame - full tuition merit scholarship available
MIT - No merit aid, her stretch school
Clemson - full tuition merit scholarship available (very small number, 4 last year)
Small liberal arts schools that she does not want me to mention by name at this time - full tuition merit scholarship available

That is our list. I also have a thread for her search, and I have a huge list of recommended schools in there.

Help Finding the Right School for Top 1% Student - Engineering & Needs Merit Aid

We are having a hard time finding the right fit for my D22. We have run our EFC, and it far exceeds what we can/are willing to pay. Based on our numbers, I don’t expect to see a penny of need-based aid from any school. We are willing to spend up to $20K per year (assuming that she will need at least a full tuition scholarship). While she loves learning and all subjects, she ultimately wants to be an engineer (undecided) or computer programmer. Ideally, she would like a medium-sized school in a non-urban environment. For reference, she absolutely loved Furman’s campus (not a school we are considering because we have no interest in a 3-2 program). Academic Stats: Class Rank: 1/300 (private school) Unweighted GPA: 4.0 (our school does not provide a weighted GPA) SAT: 1590 superscore; 1550 on a single sitting Expected NMF (SSI of 225 in GA) 13 APs by graduation Several school, state, and national awards ECs: Drama - acted in several plays Tutoring - math, writing center, & …

The list is in post 83.
