Thanks guys! My DD is a rising sophomore so first we're trying to see if she would be interested to going to school in the Northeast. It would be a big step, geographically speaking, from Colorado. BK - I love the spreadsheet idea; it sounds like your DD is well on her way. I look forward to hearing about where she chooses to study. Thanks so much everyone for all of your advice and support; I remember reading everyone's college recruiting adventures a year or so ago and I can't believe here I am, ready to embark upon the madness!
