I would let her goals and aspirations be her guide. What does she want to do? She doesn’t have to nail down a job or anything right now, but does she have anything that she is really passionate about? Anything hold her interest? It’s great that she is an MTA, but that label is only an attribute of who she is – it doesn’t replace her personality or her heart and it doesn’t tell you anything about what kind of college is the right fit for her by itself.
