just went back and reread the op....

difference between nursing and pre med - IMO ... money and time. Don't know what her ultimate goal is but she can be a nurse practitioner in 6 years. much longer for a physician.

her intellect and skills won't be wasted. Many many nurses are very bright individuals and their are many levels of a nursing career.

East Coast - U Penn, Johns Hopkins, Pitt., VCU Many good schools in Boston -

We looked at school and the hospitals they used for clinical. My dau didn't have a chance at J Hopkins - but she is applying to a school that uses that hospital in the clinicals.

I don't know if there is any evidence that nursing programs with excellent grad programs also have the "best" BSN programs. If she has a idea of a specialty - see where the grad programs are and where they draw from.
