Well . . . except for the fact that she's going through all of this to go to Notre Dame. Why, for the love of all that is holy, Notre Dame?

Some people get fixated on a school from an early age. I had a friend who wanted to go to Ohio State, his whole life wanted to go to Ohio State. When it came time to apply for colleges, Ohio State was his only choice (even though he had other options). At the end of the day he went to Ohio State and was thrilled.

Notre Dame is a good school, so if she ends up there, she'll at least end up with a good degree out of her obsession.

Internet begging is not a healthy way to get money to pay 'much wanted' services.

Succeed in what way? Not do well for grades? End up hating the school?

At the end of the day she could frame it in such a way that she never would have gotten the chance to go, but for the site, and even if it was unsuccessful, at least she got the opportunity.
