[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how OP said - We chose Columbia. That says a lot. I’m an immigrant and we are unfortunately paying full but ultimately my kid chose their college. My husband and I gave advice but the final decision was my kid’s to make, not ours.

OP, please give your kid some time to breathe. Sounds like a smart kid. Let them figure it out. Bumps in the road are nerve wracking but totally normal [/quote]

OP here. DC also was thrilled to go to Columbia (which is why it’s so sad seeing them tank). First choice out of all the accepted schools. And to those of you saying I’m a fake troll…. I wish. [/quote]
Hold on, I didn't wade through all the pages of crazy.
A kid with a 3.7 is considered to be "tanking?"
They are not tanking, they may be taking some time to figure out who they are without a neurotic and overbearing parent harping over them 24x7.
Give them some space and encouragement, not constant judgement and haranguing. [/quote]

A 3.7 definitely isn’t tanking, but it’s not a great GPA either. [/quote]

Your GPA matters way less in college than it does in high school. [/quote]

It still matters.

- Signed, 3.3 GPA Harvard grad[/quote]

A 3.3 is much lower than a 3.7. A 3.3 Philosophy major would be in a worse spot. [/quote]
