Not necessarily. You see, because she is the smartest person in the world, she doesn't really know how to deal with people. Not to mention she wants to join because she was one of the few test subjects who actually liked Dr. Whitney. In fact, she's a big fan of his work. I'm sure that she'd go just so she could investigate his work in further detail.
