* top 5 AMS department
* strong, but not hyper competitive Ivy admissions profile
* not a SLAC
* not cold

Have fun getting weeded out. Seriously, huge high-profile schools are not the place for this.

That’s what OP asked about!

And, while the point is well taken, at this point OPs DD is looking aspirationally at schools.

OP back again. JMU and Washington and Lee sound like good ones to check out. Berkeley is probably a bit too much of a stretch. Also, I don't think an all girls school is for her. Still appreciating all of the feedback!
