I will ask you first, does your daughter has a teacher(s) she wants to work with. If so has she taken any sample lessons with those teachers? The schools you have listed are hard admits, but she should find a good teacher match regardless of what school she attends. It can be very hard to change studios even if the teacher isn’t working out for her. As far as stressing out, she really needs to get more philosophical about this whole thing, not just school, but being a musician requires a certain toughness. Perhaps if you tell her that this toughness is necessary for her future career and she should start practicing now to take things in stride it might help.
