OP here. But, I'm paying for her school.[/quote]

And you wouldn’t pay if she doesn’t get into med school?

Don’t do that, OP.  You’re paying for her college education.  What she does with it is up to her.  [/quote]

OP here. No, I would get her to transfer to a cheaper school if she decides not to be pre-med because full price for a public health degree is not worth it. [/quote]

Wow. [/quote]

+1 I mean seriously, what a way to destroy your kid. [/quote]

+2. You’re a horrible parent, OP.  The truth is out.  No wonder your poor daughter is suffering.  [/quote]

+3 stay out of this op. You are awful and your kid will do better navigating it without you.[/quote]

maybe she should pay her own bills?[/quote]

Maybe mommy should honor her commitments as a parent. [/quote]

No dog in this fight but the commitments work both ways. DD needs to keep up her end of bargain.[/quote]

DS isn’t flunking out.  She didn’t go into Hopkins promising to be in pre-med.  Mommy has no right to force her to leave Hopkins now because she doesn’t like a Public Policy Major. [/quote]

NP-Mommy has every right if she is paying for it. It may not be the most nurturing of choices, but parents can set the conditions on things if they are footing the bill.  If the student wants to stay at Hopkins doing another major/path, then perhaps the student should foot it, or at least a goof portion of the cost.  I think it's fair to have the student consider another college if major has changed and there will be a significant difference in what the parents have to pay.  That's fair.[/quote]
