Actually, I think that if Hermione was sorted into Ravenclaw she wouldn't have stayed at Hogwarts. She found it extremely difficult to make friends and Ravens weren't exactly the most friendly bunch out there (the disappearance of Luna's things? Yes, that's bullying. And no, that's not acceptance of creativity and eccentricity or whatever other BS Pottermore has in that introduction speech). I think that after a while, she would have realised that even though she was the smartest witch out there, it meant nothing without friends. While it would have definitely hurt her and her ego, I think Hermione would have asked her parents to withdraw her from Hogwarts. And I think she would have chosen another school, or maybe even private tutoring in magic while she also attended Muggle school. Because our Hermione is just that over-achieving ;)
