OP:  do not think she has the maturity to deal with a school where that is the priority.  Not expecting her to live like a nun, but really want the emphasis to be on academics.  She is the type who if the group is serious about school, she will be serious about school.  If they are serious about partying, that is what she will do.[/quote]

There are studious students at every school and there are party-hardy students at every school (except maybe BYU or Wheaton College). The students attending a college are not one monolithic group. [/quote]

Agree. At no school is the mission for the students to party. OP I think you need to be a little more open minded in thinking about colleges. My DC goes to a football obsessed Big 10 school but only about 1/2 the students go to the games. So you don't need to be interested in football at a "football" school, or party at a "party" school.

Has she applied to at least some schools for next year? How is it that all her friends are already in? Did they all apply ED or EA and all were accepted? That's pretty amazing because I am hearing of lots of kids being deferred this cycle.
