It amazes me that high school students think they know what they want to do in grad school. 30-50% of all engineering students change major during undergrad. Many never go to grad school, especially if they are lucky enough to graduate to an up economy. Some who never thought they would bother with grad school end up going when they haven’t found a job by Aug/Sept after graduation. I would recommend picking a school with several options that she likes and really use that first year to explore. Remember there will be somebody in her graduating class who spend their first two years at community college and their dipolams will look exactly the same.
