Could she really though? She was in her 2nd year of Stanford when she dropped out to "revolutionize" the field. Despite the reputation, and I'm sure it's a magical place, but no university in the world is going to make you an expert in a field just in the second year of an undergraduate degree.

The fact that she could not be convinced of the impossibility of her ideas by her professor who could give a clear falsifying experiment did not bode well for her.

Also, the medical field is far removed from me, but she was a programmer in high school and claimed she made money selling C++ compilers to Chinese universities. That's just bullshit. Even if you do a favorable interpretation and assume they mean compilers written in C++, what would they be compiling that a university would pay money for?

It probably breaks down to whether or not she wants to play the game or not. If she's smart enough to get in a school like that she can certainly handle corporate BSing. I guess she could maybe be a PM or possibly make it in banking.
