Give me 3 ticker symbols for an 18 year old

I have a daughter that will be turning 18 soon. I am going to set up her an IRA and want to max it out each year for her while she is in college.
Give me 3 ticker symbols that would be good for me to invest in for her long term.
My choices are
VOO
SCHD
VTI
but I am willing to look at different ones.

I like these, but would consider Goog as well.

For an 18 yr old drop SCHD.

Long haul, you can't go wrong with AAPL with DRIP (dividend reinvestment return). We squirreled away all that "grandparent & aunt/uncle" Christmas/bday cash our son got for years growing up. He didn't need it; didn't know about it when he was really young.
Bounced it between a money mkt account & CDs, and then bought him 80 shares about 12-15 yrs ago (I would have to ask my wife for the exact date). He now has 341 shares, money he can use now at 29 as a down payment on a home if he chooses. Good luck!

correct. 0.015% expense ratio and mirrors the big funds that are much more expensive.

This! Find a growth ETF instead.

I put my son in VTI and QQQM inside a ROTH when he turned 18, set up auto deposit monthly w/ DRIP.

I see this one mentioned a lot here but I think SCHG is even better.

25% vgt, 25% qqq, 25% voo, 25% vti. Never have to look at it again.
