Case Western definitely seems worth a good look, since they are strong in STEM (her potential double majors) and known for strong music as well. That might be more of a low reach / high match for her (her stats alone would make it look like a low match, but with the acceptance rate figured in that brings it up - better acceptance rate than those top 20 schools on your list, but still definitely competitive). If reading about Case makes her interested, you definitely would want to demonstrate interest there, as they care about that a good deal, and I think especially from high stats kids since they don’t want to just be a backup.

Completely agree about her taking notes at each school - will add to that that it’s helpful to take a couple or few pix on campus to refer to again after the trip, and helpful if she writes down her impressions at the end of the visit while her memory is fresh. That really helped my student to keep all the schools visited straight, and helped a lot with the “why us” essays.
