no it doesn't. Aim for the top schools and the students can go into industry or phd or change their minds to gasp--humantiies.

The ability to change is very improtant

Berkeley is a great school to go to for industry- but getting a phd is a lot more difficult afterwards for a vast majority of students.

Amherst, Williams, Swarthmore, Carleton, Pomona, Haverford, Hamilton, Wesleyan, Bowdoin, Davidson, Harvey Mudd, Smith

Case Western. Heavy in stem research with everlasting reputation. Tons of funding attracted many top professors and researcher scientists. Endless resources for medical research and clinical. The only drawback is that it is in Ohio.

Princeton

University of Rochester

Very strong in STEM. Excellent pre-med track record. Open curriculum, I believe.

Often overlooked because of concerns about weather. But Rochester weather is similar to Chicago, Michigan, and Boston. Higher total inches of snow (I think) but that extra is due to many nights of an additional 2 inches of lake effect snow, not huge snow dumps like in Buffalo. College life goes on at full speed, rather than shuts down, when it snows. Also, Sept-Dec and April-May are gorgeous!

Serious students, smaller classes, high rigor, interdisciplinary emphasis, outstanding research opportunities and outcomes(top for phD, MD, career salary) yet also with active student bodies that area interested in many different areas of academics, with many arts and extracurriculars on campus:

Princeton
Stanford
Harvard
Penn
Columbia
Cornell
Yale
Duke
Hopkins
UChicago
Northwestern

If she cannot get in, aim for the next-best tier
Rice
Notre Dame
Emory (unless wants engineering)
Wake
BC
William and Mary

Any of T5. Rice John’s HopkinsPenn Northwestern Chicago.

silly post

Is she looking for a career in industry or a phd? That heavily changes the type of institutions.

What does SHE want out of her campus experience?
Major?
Geographic limits?
Weather preferences?
Does she want small classes or large?

This is really vague.
