I guess it helps to know how successful she was on her apps:

She was admitted to UPenn (rejected from Huntsman program but accepted to CAS), Duke, Ole Miss (Croft Institute, Honors College, awarded Stamps Scholarship), Miami U (Honors and Scholars, just shy of full tuition awarded), Ole Miss (Stamps Scholarship), Valparaiso (Chancellor’s scholarship), Seton Hall (awarded three scholarships), and waitlisted at American University.

A brief on stats: top 6% of class, 35 ACT (one sitting) 3.9 UW if we generously round up, very lackluster SAT Subject tests, especially Math. Will have taken a total of 6 AP classes + 2 dual enrollment (school offers so many AP classes that this is actually low).

I think she’s going to end up at Ole Miss although she is still enamored with UPenn. Can’t see how to justify paying so much more and having to take loans when she has a full ride+ through Stamps. Those are the only two she’s considering at this point.
