@nucities - planning to apply to publics - will check out the CSU GPA reqs etc, also expand the stats details and circle back. thanks for the pointers.
@beebee3 - thank you indeed for the input. I really like the discovery questions you mentioned and started using them ( today in fact ) and getting a better picture of what my daughter is looking for.
@eyemgh - I did not know about WICHE/WUE terms, looking them up. I appreciate what you said about CC/ skewed sample.
@eyemgh , @beebee3 @Twoin18 - your generous input on match/safety schools, price points/budgets is super helpful and is helping us think more clearly. Thanks again.
