I think you’re daughter’s OK (particularly if she’s kept a copy of the letter withdrawing the other applications). This happened to a friend’s d last year - she withdrew her applications. One of the schools from which she had withdrawn sent her an admissions letter anyway, and awarded her merit money and financial aid! And kept after her to come to that school. I don’t think they were actually asking her to break her ED commitment; I think more than likely the withdrawal slipped through the cracks.

There was no problem. My friend’s d sent in the postcard rejecting the admission, and is happily finishing up her freshman year at her ED school.

Your d may want to send the rolling admissions school their own form declining the offer of admissions, and get it over with. And keep a copy of that form. (Of course, that doesn’t mean that the school won’t still keep sending you stuff!)
