It honestly sounds like the relationship is not as serious as you make it out to sound (at least to her), because if it was, you wouldn't be here asking us. She would have been ecstatic about DMU and wouldn't have even considered any other options. If she wants to go to MSU, then let her and hope for the best.

This comment is spot on. If my wife got into KYCOM and I got into Harvard and KYCOM and we decided we both wanted to be doctors that bad, I would withdraw at Harvard and go to KYCOM. I know this is incredibly drastic, but if the relationship was that serious (at least in her eyes), she wouldn't hesitate. So that being said, she should go to MSU.
