D2 had more math (thru linear analysis) plus all the AP classes your D had, except comp sci. She found UR adequately challenging. (D2 was a double major with one major in applied math.)

UR’s physics dept is highly regarded nationally, particularly in optics. It’s math dept is also very well regarded.

Your D will be able to enroll in grad-level classes her senior year if she has wants more challenging classes.

Additionally, plentiful NSF/NIH funding means there are lots of available research opportunities for undergrads. Professors are quite approachable and welcome undergrads into their labs.

UR’s science programs are very highly regarded and each year UR sends students on to top grad programs.
