Good evening everyone! When I posted the original question many months ago, I was absolutely clueless! Now DD is at the end of the application cycle, and I wanted to share where she ended up applying, along with the results. She didn’t apply ED anywhere.
Her profile is listed in the first post. We did not qualify for any Financial Aid. All scholarship amounts listed below are yearly.
RESULTS:
University of Pittsburgh: Accepted - Applied for Guaranteed Admissions Program to med school (did not receive) and Chancellor’s (did not receive) $10K per year awarded
University of South Florida: Accepted - National Merit (full-ride)
Texas A&M: Accepted - Opportunity Award Recipient (1k one-time), applied for Brown Scholars (not selected)
University of Texas at Dallas: Accepted - National Merit (full-ride)
UNC Chapel Hill: Accepted - Morehead-Cain Recipient (full-ride + much much more)
University of Miami: Accepted - President’s Scholarship (25k per year), HPMP recipient, total $30,500 per year

Final Decision: The real decision was between accepting the Morehead Cain at UNC or going to Harvard. For a multitude of reasons (which deserve a separate post), she chose the Morehead Cain at UNC Chapel Hill.
I appreciate everyone’s input on this over the past few months. It was a long, but fun journey, and she’s excited about the future as a Morehead Cain Scholar!
Thank you!
