Given these pesronality traits: "absent-minded professor," loves to read, not interested in joining a sorority, wants a smaller school, etc., I would strongly suggest looking at liberal arts colleges. She sounds A LOT like my daughter, and I know a big school would not have worked well for her. I have met all of the professors in my daughter's major, and they look out for her. At a big school, she would have been in a "sink or swim" setting. That's just not a good fit for many students. My daughter did join a sorority, and she loves it. The "right" school is out there.
You might have a hard time finding her major at a smaller school, but it's worth investigating.
You also might investigate ADHD testing. My daughter was just diagnosed this summer with "inattentive" subtype. My daughter's big sister was the one who came across an article about "high IQ college women whose ADHD has gone undiagnosed until college." My daughter read it and it sounded exactly like her. In high school, these girls still do well academically, they're not disruptive in class, and the "absent minded professor" symptoms aren't as problematic when mom, coach, teacher, etc. is still there to oversee and remind.
