Great mature thinking. She will certainly go a long way and the fact she is joining MIT also speaks volumes about her family background. Good to see an affluent girl so good in studies. VEry rare combination, must say. All the best to her.
Though my state(AP) had many successful IIT students,I dunno how many of them think like you.........But everything boils down to your choice at the end of day........all the very best in your life........
