She will get aid and honors at Minnesota, plus it actually wants DMV kids.

Add Pitt to the safety list.
NYU hard target (just because of law acceptance rate)
Vanderbilt and Northwestern for reaches
If she likes CA, Santa Clara as a safety and add Cal Poly SLO to the list to check out as a target
For the CA public schools (UC and Cal Poly), they are all test blind and you need to see how her school does and what the admitted GPA from her school is using the way CA calculates GPA (10-11 grades only, A-G classes, limited grade bumps for AP and IB only out of state). There is a lot of data available on UC by applying high school.

Sounds like a great candidate for Honors programs at the large publics - Alabama's is excellent from what I hear, Indiana, etc etc. She would likely receive a ton of merit aid, too

Nice job sneaking South Carolina in there.
They have the top honors program in the country.
And a great business program. But this board appears to dislike UofSC more than other southern flagships for some reason. It’s a good add to your list, imo.

If a kid is really strong in math and physics, does wake forest or Elon make sense? How could they provide as good an education as Michigan or Wisconsin or even University of Minnesota (which is ranked very highly in math)?

She sounds more like a business school or Wall Street feeder type —could try Lehigh— Very Greek, very social, lots of school spirit and great for New York jobs.
