Please don’t take this the wrong way at all @SculptorDad but I have to wonder based on your previous posts if your heavy involvement (i.e. helicopter-ness) in the application process “may” have lead some of the schools to believe that you were totally driving the bus (and being the bus monitor, mechanic, and so on). For one second, I would not doubt your daughter’s talent academically and otherwise, but I have to assume the admission officers have learned very well how evaluate students for fit.

It also saddens me a bit that it seems like you are sooooo uberfocused to reach some artificial finish line for your daughter (or is it for you?) that she (and you) are not seeing the forest for the trees. Life is long and there’s plenty of time for her to conquer whatever it is that piques her interest so why not let her simply coast for a year or two and find herself. This is the perfect opportunity to do that as she’s so advanced.
