[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid went to a public magnet with a high percentage of Asian-American kids with immigrant parents. I'd like to think the  OP is a troll, but she may not be.

The OP's kid is doing just fine. It may take a year or two for her to figure out the course of life, but long term, the outlook is good.

My kid went to a different Ivy. The kid with the least employable major was the first to get a great job. It was a fluke, but the kid was in the right place to benefit. Job was for a limited one year period. During that year, kid made a connection that lead to the next job.

[quote] if she’s paying for college, it’s perfectly reasonable to demand a certain GPA and an employable major. [/quote]

[b]It is not reasonable to demand a gpa above a 3.7.[/b] As for major, very few Columbia College majors are "employable" in the usual sense of that word. You can't major in nursing or accounting. Lots of STEM majors, especially biology, are less employable than philosophy. [/quote]

NP here. I think it is. Humanities majors should have 3.8+, but I wouldn’t worry if I were OP—GPAs almost always go up the last two years of college. [/quote]
