Another factor (which is likely too uncertain at this point to be determinative, but I’ll toss it in anyway): When you say grad school or law school, do you have any idea which is more likely? And if grad school, in what field? Grad school for my younger daughter is fully funded (by the school), and she got into this particular program because of her great performance in undergrad and her post-undergrad work experience. Law school or medical school, on the other hand, would cost her a bundle.
I think D2 would have done well at any school but being a biggish fish at a smallish school (a highly regarded LAC but not necessarily as well known as some schools of similar size and ranking) probably helped.
