I have revised my list. Any thoughts? Other suggestions. Can afford about 40K.
Case Western Reserve University
Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering
Grinnell College
Haverford College
Santa Clara University
Texas A&M University
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Have you run NPCs to see what the schools say you can afford ? Or as we are told they may not be accurate, ask for a pre read.
You can remove the last two for sure. You canāt get close to $40k at Wisconsin or A&M.
They all seem reaches to me based on your SAT.
You should look at a school like Alabama or perhaps there are others with low tuition like W Carolina, Miss State that could assure you at $40k.

I would replace TAMU either with a Texas university where your odds of major+merit are higher (UHouston, Southwestern, Austin Collegeā¦ perhaps) or, based on the rest of your list, on another "Northern"university that has strong science&math: if you like UWisconsin, look into U Minnesota Twin cities, St Olaf, U Minnesota Morris, Kalamazoo, Lawrence, Beloit, Knox, U Wisconsin La Crosse or Eau Claire; if you like Grinnell and Haverford, what about Wheaton Massachusetts, Skidmore, Wooster, Dickinson, Drew? If you like Santa Clara, what about UScranton or Fordham?
Would Kenyon, Denison, William&Mary, Carleton be within budget?

Santa Clara wonāt be affordable. D16 had much better stats and got very little in merit. They use the CSS profile.
University of Central Florida will come in just under $40K.
Need based aid uses the CSS Profileā¦not merit.
But I also wonder whether this college will be affordable.
