[quote=Anonymous]I totally understand the girl's feelings of ending up at a so-called also-ran school, even though I do think in this case she has a lot of good choices.  My scenario was different but the bottom line is that for financial reasons I took a full scholarship at a second tier state school rather than attending full-pay one of the many top 20 schools that I got into include Duke and Georgetown.  Financially it was the right decision but definitely hard at my high-SES school to get excited when I was surrounded by kids heading to Ivies+, LACs and other highly thought of schools.

It's all worked out long-term but to OP I get her feelings.  All I can say is to make sure you hit those Admitted Students Days, make sure she's following IG accounts for those schools and even for particular ECs that she's interested in whether that's a club or a sorority or whatever. It sounds obnoxious but yes also have her follow the accepted students pages, and see the excitement from those kids who could end up being her classmates.

It's only March 1st, she has 2 months to make a decision and hopefully end up at peace with whatever she chooses, even if she isn't in love.[/quote]
