Best of luck to your daughter. It sounds like she has the right attitude. My son was thrilled to be admitted to DC - if for no reason other than it meant he didn’t have to finish his other 9 applications - but he was also prepared not to get in. He’s had friends with absolutely stellar [I mean REALLY stellar] test scores, grades, accomplishments, etc. rejected by schools while others with “less” have been admitted ED or EA to the same schools. So he recognized that it is in so many ways just a crapshoot. He feels honored - but very lucky as well. He also knows he would have been just as happy at any of the other schools that made his final list of schools he was applying to - but he’s happy to be going to DC. Again - best of luck.
