I would pick the school that would be best for her (best program, best recruiting opportunities) if she doesn't get admitted....because there is a good chance she doesn't.
If you are in the PSA program and you maintain a 3.0 GPA, you are guaranteed admittance...
I'm not sure if you are inferring that this is difficult to do or if you have not heard about this gateway program, but it is pretty easy to maintain a 3.0 at one of the satellite schools if you go to class and put forth the effort. Going into the year, I had four friends who were in the program with me and they all rushed fraternities. One dropped the frat after he saw his grades suffer and the other three stayed in and all failed to meet the grade requirements to get to A&M.
