<p>Mostly it’s way too early to be thinking specific colleges. Your daughter could be accepted at all of the colleges on your list or rejected at them all. They are too selective to make any predictions - especially at this point.</p>
<p>I agree that leadership and/or evidence of being a self-starter is lacking at this point. (Perfectly normal at this stage!) I agree that a summer science research experience would be beneficial. There are a number of programs for rising seniors - applications as I recall will be needed in Jan. or Feb. </p>
<p>Remember that there are ways of showing leadership besides being the president of a club. You can spearhead a project for example.</p>
