I think so. Not everyone is enthusiastic about their 3rd choice. I remember when I uncomfortably bubbled in my 3rd choice on my pref scantron. My PX didn't tell me that I did not have to put a 3rd choice - in fact, my PX made it seem like it was mandatory. I knew that I would not have been happy if I had been placed with them. My 2nd choice I would have been happy with but definitely not my third. Looking back, I think that even if I had gotten my 3rd choice and gave it a shot for a few weeks, I don't think I ever would have felt like I fit in. Sometimes a 3rd choice (or even a 2nd choice) is a mismatch. That's why I wish more recruitment counselors would let their PNMs know that it's ok to "suicide". If you feel that you will only be happy in one group, than put that one group.
I say that your daughter give it a few weeks but if she still feels uncomfortable than by all means she should drop out before initiation.
