[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has she taken the SAT or the ACT yet? Scores are not the be-all end-all, but they can help you identify schools where she safely fits in the mid-range of students, and others that might be reaches for her.[/quote]
OP here.  No, she's still a Sophomore - we're only just barely beginning to begin thinking about beginning to start looking at colleges.   :D

Many thanks for all the good advice here![/quote]

Took last summer with my ds (who sounds a like like your dd) and did day trips to colleges we could drive through (covid, so no tours). There are a LOT of great schools out there, and we were probably the most impressed with one that never makes anyone's list, a small private school of 2K. Don't be pulled into the hype of top tier schools. There is truly a school for every person, and the fit (how large, where, gut feel on the campus, surrounding area) are just as important as the name of the school. Don't panic. Make it fun and low-key and find a place she feels like she is at home. [/quote]
