"A student on a full ride is not at the school to be stimulated by extraordinary peers - s/he is there to be extraordinary and provide stimulation for the other students"
At some of the larger schools with honors programs, I think there will be at least a few extraordinary peers.

Some schools invite students to campus to interview for their major merit scholarships. This student didn't get invited to do so, although s/he may have received or will receive other merit aid.

As oppose to what? Being endebted as a follower! Honors Program and debt free. I believe this student has been given the chance at true leadership!

My niece (Ms. Artsypants) has been ...very successful. She is interested in technical theatre and Holocaust Studies. Her "unique" profile and engaging personality is (somewhat) defying statistics and she is in at NYU Tisch (waiting on FA, I hope she beats the odds there) and has received nice merit awards at Wagner, Pace, and Drew. Still waiting on Barnard and Boston U.. I'm a proud uncle. She is kicking  .

Curm -- WOW!!! Major congrats to Ms. Artsypants! She's got the talent, but I'm sure you were the guiding hand to help her make it all a reality...

Smith College, to which my D has applied RD, has just emailed her to inform her that SC will notify her of their decision on March 20, instead of April 1, which is the date listed on SC's website.
What does this mean? Has SC decided to accept her somewhat early, or has SC determined that they don't want her, so they prefer to take her application off the table?

I think it only means that they have determined that they will be able to release all their decisions on March 20, a bit earlier than April 1. I think a lot of colleges are asked "when will you tell us?" over and over again. Smith sounds like they put out the announcement to help cut down on the anxiety.
It looks like Smith Admissions has a facebook page. There they state that the decisions will be put online 3/20, with snail mail to follow.
