Good catch! That’s what I get for trying to short cut with copy paste. I’ll correct. Thanks!

Do you want to run XC and distance track in college? If you do, do you want to run for a good DIII program that practices every day but understands academics comes first, or do you want to run for DI program that expects (even more) commitment?
Seems like XC might help you get into an excellent LAC if that’s what you want. Or have you contacted Ivy League coaches to see if you’re strong enough for their programs?
Also, you can apply EA to CWRU as well as Macalester (as long as you don’t apply REA to Harvard, that is.)
Thank you all for the suggestions! This gives me a lot to consider and is all very much appreciated.
But one of my offtopic I which place you preparation for biology Exam. I have search different types question from mcqs360 in which especially include ms office MCQs.
Maybe Trinity (TX)? Tower Scholarship - full tuition.
Semmes Science Scholarship - Full tuition + $5K for research.
$30K auto merit with your stats. Undergrad focused, huge
endowment, newer 300K sqft science center, and athletic D3. Non-restricted EA. Check it out.

Yes, it’s off-topic, but more importantly, it’s highjacking a thread, which is considered rude to the original poster. You’re better off starting a new thread

It is … unusual… that a GC is unaware of / uninterested in a student who is #1 in their class, Senior Class President and a 3-season, recruitable athlete.
Is this modesty or a clear-eyed assessment? Your science teachers will give you a C rating? Your English teacher would see you as a mediocre student? Why is Harvard going to be impressed with a student whose teachers rate her academic abilities so poorly?
Just wanted to mention that my daughter had similar stats and applied to two of the schools on your list, Macalester and Kenyon. She got into both with merit and chose Kenyon (but loved Macalester, too, when we visited). She is a humanities major but she has two friends who are premeds there, and they are very happy with the school.

Thanks all for the input. I definitely have a lot to consider throughout this process but just wanted to get some input since it can all be overwhelming.
Rice might fit your requirements. It’s smaller and T20. It’s D1 but one of the smallest and might be an option if you are still interested in running in college.
Rice totally meets need without loans so be sure to run the calculator.

You could be a candidate for the Stamps scholarship. Elizabethtown college in PA offers it as does Pitt. It’s a full ride and competitive. Pitt is fantastic for health care education. I second Rice as a school to research, it’s also great for health care Ed. Good luck, you will be great wherever you end up!
I would avoid getting too caught up in prestige. It’s overrated, especially for a field like medicine. If you do go to medical school, the loans will be ridiculously expensive, and large amounts of undergraduate loans will severely limit your career options. The vast majority “doctor ambitious” high school graduates, in fact, don’t go to medical school at all. They find passions in other things. I would suggest going to an affordable university with a wide variety of marketable majors. Whether you choose medicine or not, you can’t go wrong either way.

Your excellent achieves will keep you competitive for any school on your list. You’ll have a +++ chance of admission at any school that is actively recruiting you as an athlete. (From my own local high school, a very marginal 3.7 student got into Yale as a recruited athlete).
The very top schools, such as Harvard and Princeton are very generous in calculating financial aid. They do NOT really give any merit money. So I’d carefully run the financial calculators on their websites. For example, at Harvard, families making under $75,000 get a completely free ride. And even a family earning $200,000, may get about a 50% grant.
Because of their massive endowments, those T5-T10 schools can often be much more affordable than T20-T50 schools.
