DREXEL UNIVERSITY
Time to get back to work - wake up! 
Drexel has an early action admission date of November 4, 2014. A non binding early action! If accepted - Mimi would have until May 15th to make a decision. I think this would be a good starting place for her.
*please see 6/25/14 post for original notes on Drexel as a fashion program for Mimi
Drexel uses the common app and essay - 250 to 650 words - and a $50 application fee. Because Mimi would be applying to the design program her essay has to be about why she wants to become a fashion designer.
The Admissions department wants to see your SAT scores and your high school transcripts. They are requesting 2 letters of recommendation - one having to be from your high school counselor.
None of the other schools have asked for the counselor specifically but Mimi didn't find this odd.
Specific to the Westphal College of Media Arts and Design
Mimi will need to turn in a portfolio of a max of 12 images her best work with a brief essay explaining her work. This can be in the medium of her choice and submitted through highschoolportfoilo.com and work will not be returned.
The annual tuition is $44,646 but Philadelphia is closer to home than California or Paris so no real travel costs and there is guaranteed housing
Costume Design is available to study here! That's something on her wish list.
In the first year of the fashion design program will include the History of Costume Design as well as an option of studying costume design. Another required course for the freshman designers is Physical Science for Design! This is a non calculus course which will include 
Newton's Laws, kinematics (classical mechanics) circular motion and oscillatory motion
Well, that's not common in the study of fashion design!
Drexil University's admission procedures are less demanding
than some of the other schools on her list. Parson's has a complete "challenge" she has to fulfill - this is way less daunting - thank you Drexel!
A good place to start.
