Like others have said, help her create a list that fits her. I like collegeboard.com, collegedata.com and yes even princetonreview.com from the standpoint of generating lists. Then, start visiting. Her choices will naturally evolve based upon what she learns.
This summer I was worried that one of my twin Ds was less interested in the search than her sister. I also worried that her lack of interest would translate into her not having as many options. I see now that I was being silly. She has the same amount of options, she's just choosing not to explore them. She was content with her list as it existed then...1 reach, 1 match, 1 safety, and...since this summer, has consented to adding a couple more schools to it. The visits are key I think as they generate enthusiasm. When application time comes in ACK!! 10 months, my guess is that she'll have six good schools to send her aps to. The key is to remember that "good" is according to her specifications, not mine or her dads or her sisters.
