bulinsky:

Your D’s list has many good matches and apparent safeties. She certainly could include some reaches, such as Cornell or Stanford or Rice.

Some things to consider: 1.financial aid, whether need-based or merit-based. Is she committed to ROTC? Does she want to explore other options for funding her education?
2. travel. How easy and how expensive would it be to travel from college to home and back?
Size: schools of 4,000 to 10,000 tend to be mid-sized research universities, in between LACs and large state universities. She might be eligible for honors programs at some of the state universities.
As an Alaska resident, she could have a tip at quite a few schools.

Good luck!
