Wish I could force the decision

The same thing happened with my son three years ago, and we just left him alone as it became apparent he wasn’t going to rush to decide. Then, on almost the last day, he said,“Oh, I’m going to Stanford”, as if it had been a given all along. As long as you don’t want to insist that she picks one over the other for financial reasons, what difference does it really make if she waits until the end of April? You know she has two good choices, so she can’t go wrong. I would just leave her alone, unless she initiates a conversation about the pros and cons of the two schools.
