Any advice for a poor but intellegent girl?

I doubt most universities would consider being affiliated with the GOP to be a minus. The ones that might would probably like the chance to bring the “light” to such a talented youngster… If the concern about GOP affiliation is high, then look to UChicago, as the WSJ said:

“It is no exaggeration to say that Chicago laid the intellectual foundation for the conservative ascendancy and nurtured the ideas that now drive the debate over economic policy, legal theory and foreign affairs. The key ideas of the so-called Reagan Revolution, including monetarism and deregulation, trace their origins back to the free-market theorizing of Chicago’s economics department.”

(Don’t hold it against the school either, it has produced its share of liberals as well, and invented sociology.)

If the financial need is three, most top tier schools will provide aid. A friend’s kid received $42,000 per year from a top Ivy. As others said, just apply and see what happens.
