I’m not really seeing what the problem is, to be honest. She liked Smith enough to agree to apply, right? So for now she has to focus on nothing but finishing applications, and once she hears back from everywhere and you can see the big picture, including financial aid if it’s relevant to you, you can just push her a little to revisit Smith and stay overnight.

From personal experience, I would say that you really can’t sell a college to anyone, not even someone you know as well as you know your own child. I saw choosing my college as my own decision, and when I noticed my parents pushing me towards schools I began to resist those schools. If Smith is as right for her as you believe, all it’ll take is another visit and talking to some current students for her to realize that.
