I wouldn’t waste the time/money to visit Brown because the odds are so heavily against admission (for everyone) and they don’t track demonstrated interest. If she gets in then she’ll have a month and a half to visit to see if she likes it.

Until I read that she didn’t really like rural, I was thinking Whitman was the perfect fit for her. Have you talked to her about the pros and cons of the “small school in out-of-the-way places” since at least one of you is a Whitman grad? She’ll probably be in the city/suburbs the rest of her life, and the small “bubble” schools seem to create lifelong friendships and very tight alumni groups. And her desire for strong relationships with dynamic profs and opportunities for internships is the LAC wheelhouse. L&C is also a great option if Eastern Washington is a no-go.
