From the Paper:

"With "The Other Sister," director Garry Marshall brings moviegoers the touching story of a mentally disabled young woman who wants to find her own way in the world. The film begins with the mildly retarded character of Carla Tate (Juliette Lewis) returning to her family's wealthy San Francisco home after spending several years in a special school. Determined to lead an independent life and be just like everyone else, Carla announces that she wants to be a veterinarian's assistant one day and go to the local Polytechnic school, even though it's primarily for people without a mental disability."
