Earlier I recommended dropping CWRU from you list. I now rescind that advice because, yes, they often offer excellent merit aid. Also they are in the same athletic conference as CMU, so you should be able to play your sport.
In my opinion, Cleveland does not compare well with Pittsburgh. Plus, although the area around CWRU is about as good as it gets in Cleveland, the area around CMU is even nicer. Again, just my opinion. Nonetheless CWRU is an outstanding school and it very well might offer you really good merit aid.
