[quote=Anonymous]"but didn’t do well enough in Calc 3 to be a math major."

Is she a freshman?  Was Calc 3 her first math class in college?

If Calc 3 was her first math class in college, not matching her high standards from HS means NOTHING.

Math in college is taught differently than in HS.  She needs to give herself time to figure out the college methods that work best for her.

Most of the math in a math major is different from the engineering math sequence through differential equations.

The most important thing she can learn in college is how to come back strong after a set back.

She should talk to someone in the math department to make sure she has all the facts if she is interested in math.  Does the math department have an applied math or data science major?

There is nothing wrong with business analytics but you trade many quantitative classes for business classes, once you make the trade rebuilding to the highest quantitative level in grad school is much harder.

It's easier to get a math degree and then fill in the business/NGO gaps with an MBA or MPP or MPA.[/quote]
