If you go to gold for development and gain the skills for DP6/7 than it is not uncommon for a gym to have you do two in house score out meets the following summer and get you to 6/7 for the next competition season. You don't have to do a full year at those levels.
Does your new gym do DP and have a history of D1 athletes or is Xcel only? If they don't have a history of sending athletes to D1 then your chances are very unlikely.
If your goal is collegiate gymnastics then you need to be enrolled in a gym that produces collegiate gymnasts consistently with a track record that collegiate coaches trust. They will have a program and a method that will get you noticed and the colleges will find you. You most likely will...
Do you want to learn gymnastics because you want to compete in gymnastics competitions or are you trying to learn gymnastics tricks just for fun?
If you want to learn "tricks" quickly than a ninja/parkour class might be more of what you are looking for where they can show you how to do the...
I assume she has close friends at her gym she probably would prefer to do whatever they are doing. Since she doesn't have D1 aspirations let her do whatever brings her the most joy.

As far as competition the coach can stand next to the beam, as long as they don't touch the gymnast there is not a deduction (as far as I understand). This...
The giant is so often like a kip in that a gymnast can be so close for a long period of time but just not have it consistently, than one day they just get it. A handful will take a week.
For my DD it took about a year to finally get to the "I got it" phase.
Here's your words of caution but the biggest hurdles your DD will probably face are yet to come and there is not a lot that you and the coaches are going to be able to do about it or help with it.
Puberty and growth hit girls differently and the changes in body shape and mental chemistry can be...
Unfortunately it just takes time to adjust. Get as many reps in as you can and try to be comfortable knowing that you might not get your best results at state.
Just wanted to add that there is nothing wrong with repeating a level and often it's advantageous to the gymnasts overall development as the goal of gymnastics is to master skills not just learn as many as possible. I know it's hard especially when it might mean splitting off with friends and...
