Your daughter sounds like a good fit for University of Rochester. My d was a double humanities major but had many friends in many other departments and many have done well attending top graduate programs in their fields.
I would recommend a campus visit if at all possible or a visit with an admissions person at an off-campus event or if they visit your high school.
Demonstrated interest is important along with really well-written essay. One of my d’s essays was very memorable… so much that when she was performing the National Anthem attended by a University of Rochester representative in spring of her senior year and they were introduced and was told she had committed to attending, the adcom remembered her essay and they had a conversation about it. It is personal in that way.
