Feeling bad prescreens didn't work out- advice?

My daughter just heard back from CWR & Blair (Vandy) that she will not be invited to audition based on her prescreening videos. I feel so bad for her, although I do believe things will work out somewhere else.

She is very talented, but has not had access to recitals/competitions things of that sort (we homeschool, in a very rural area), and I think that hurt her. Her prescreening videos were great, so I don’t think it was her actual performance. She wants to major in music composition. She has college-level music theory knowledge.

There are 3 in-person auditions she still has to do, and her confidence is shaken. What to say? I don’t know what else we could have done to improve her chances. Academically she is a fit at both. I just needed to vent - thanks for reading.
