[quote=Anonymous]If she was my daughter I would require her to apply to at a good number of colleges she would seriously consider attending, and I would just keep talking her very honestly.

-We are happy to give you a little spending money during college, but understand that you will not be able afford the clothes, travel, etc. that friend will have.
-Friend's family can afford [super fancy housing], but you need to understand that even if you go to [fancy college] you may need to live in the regular dorm because that's what our family can afford.
-I know [] is your good friend, but when you go to college you should also meet other people.  The person you hang out with during your first week of college is rarely the person you hang out with a graduation.
-[] lives a certain kind of lifestyle, and that's fine, but I hope you know that there's more in life than being rich and having connections.  
-College is a great place to meet lots of different kinds of people.
-You are very smart and I expect you to work hard and get the most out of the experience.
-You should join a couple clubs/activities as soon as you get to school so you can meet people.
-Friendships can change a lot once you get to college.

and on and on...
