>Actually, I don't know if that's normal - she's got invitations from about thirty colleges so far (even a few well known names, like Yale)... isn't it a bit too early? She'll only be a junior now.

No, not if she took the PSAT this past year. That's what starts the mail flowing.

If she has any interest in Yale, let me know and I'll connect her to Nathaniel. He's loved it there, and in fact, worked in the admissions office, interviewing high school kids, one summer.
