[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The vast majority of students change their mind about majors. Don't choose a school based on one specific major. If she's happy with one of the schools she's accepted to, get excited about that one. It doesn't matter if some hypothetical additional school is "stronger" (whatever that means) in a specific major.[/quote]

She's not thrilled, no. She's okay with it. She would absolutely be happier about some of the schools she didn't apply to. I am really kicking myself.[/quote]

No, she's tricking herself and you into thinking she would be happier elsewhere. This is really a problem with some of this generation. They are overly influenced by social media and think everything should be amazing all the time.

She can't possibly know that "she would absolutely be happier".  That literally is impossible. Empower your daughter by letting her know that she can handle her decisions and not fret over them.  Move on! Move forward.  Pick a school (she is incredibly LUCKY to have 7 from which to choose) and don't look back.  She always has the option of transferring if she really hates it. Another option - take a gap year and try again next round.

I am sorry that you are stressed but really, things will be fine.  [/quote]
