I do not think that Wellesley is a “target” for anyone. The exception might be if the student or their parent is a Nobel Prize winner or leader of a moderate sized nation. Even with your daughter’s superb stats I would still classify it as a reach, although perhaps a reasonable reach.

And yes, I did meet one student at MIT whose parent actually was the leader of a moderate sized nation. The student was also very smart, a very good student, and a nice person.

As long as you are sure that you can afford it, I think that ED to Brown and ED2 to Wellesley is a perfectly reasonable strategy for your daughter. Do not count on getting accepted to either, and make sure that applications are also in at universities where acceptance is far more likely.
