[quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for the helpful suggestions!  I know this is early days, but I am a Type A planner (and for those who say I should stay out of it . . . what?  I am paying after all :)).  We are in the DMV and fortunately have been saving in a 529 since DD's birth (so honestly cost doesn't need to be a deciding factor - though obviously cheaper is always nice = more money left for possible grad school).  Of course things can change and who DD is now may be different from two years from now - so just trying to get some ideas on potential schools on the radar.  I mentioned her sports/music interests only b/c I recall back in the day colleges liked "well rounded" kids . . . but I don't expect her to be a recruited athlete (and she is by no means a star musician - just solid/pretty good).  Her art is truly superlative . . . but she doesn't want to be an artist, so not sure how that would come in to play in a college application.  At this point I would guess she will go STEM (finds those classes "easier" b/c there are clear right/wrong answers as opposed to all the grey areas in history/humanities).  And I know - all kids these days are high GPA/high SAT - so she will need to cast a wide net.[/quote]
