Have you considered John Hopkins or other schools in Baltimore. I know it's not D.C. but it is within what some Americans would considering commuting distance. Depends on how big a deal it would be for your husband to commute, or where exactly you want to live. Or how far is comfortable for your daughter to commute. How old will she be in Fall 2017?

For what it's worth do know a young adult who went to American University for pre-med and really like it.
