SSP is very selective and has a very good admission track record. Congrats.
I do not know about Astro. For biochem it paves the way to a top 10 university. But for an Ivy, if she’s not URM she should also show long term interest either through college level courses or research.
Research in STEM is not an easy task that can be done on the side. Maybe she can get the BNL one since it is still virtual. My dd went for CSHL Partners for the Future. She worked in the lab 12h per week August-March as a Senior. It was a huge commitment that paid off.

Edit: I do not know why the research word links to something, but I did not link it.
