Your list is strong. My daughter did a summer program at Brown and really liked it but being from Texas is was a culture shock to her. Very liberal campus and lacking social graces that you find in the South. That is not a "bad" thing, but it is very different. If your daughter is drawn to liberal arts based education and likes the big school attitude, have her look at....

http://www.utexas.edu/cola/progs/plan2/about/

(Plan II-University of Texas Ausitn)

I believe UT is pretty "non" southern for being in Texas, liberal (but in a conservative state...so it is relative) and endless educational options. Now as far as scholarship dollars...few and far between but some kids snatch in-state tuition waviers and that helps. They have a scholarhsip program that started this year called the 40 acres scholars, but they only took 10 kids, but for applications this year that number is 75. This is a full ride including a living stipend and study abroad grant for 4 years. Grab on to one of those and it becomes a no brainer. Austin is a dynamic city which I equate to an onion...endless layers.

The 40 acres scholarship is a biggie and the odds are much better this year. Make sure she is applying to big outside scholarship also, like Coca-Cola and any others she might qualify for. (Try FastWeb) That way if she is to bank on of those, then she does not have to bank on a specific University coming through.
