I did not read your entire post yet, so maybe I shouldn’t comment…but what struck me was this statement:
I guess you would assume the education she could receive from Cornell would be “better” then she could get from Macalester. I would not make that assumption. Macalester is an excellent small LAC. If she is better suited to a smaller school then I would go with Mac. She will have fantastic opportunities there, and be well prepared for grad school. Cornell is an amazing school, but if the other school is a better fit go with it.
