[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you’re trying to be a good parent, but I would really rethink your approach of insisting she transfer if she is no longer premed.  It sounds like you can afford Hopkins, you just don’t think it’s good value if she’s not premed — but that only makes sense if she were the one bearing the loans, and then it should still be her decision.  And, as another poster said, undergrad school doesn’t mean as much for med school admission, so your reasoning on that score doesn’t make sense either.  Did you tell her you would only pay for Hopkins if she committed to Pre-med even if she hated it?  And if you did, do you think you provided wise guidance?  I think if you think it through, you will see that you also made a lot of mistakes along the way in helping her explore her options and consequences, and so at this point, since you can afford it, let her figure it out without threatening a change in schools.  You said yourself Hopkins was great for her advocacy and other interests.  Let her figure it out.[/quote]

OP here. We were fine if she did something else besides pre-med, but it had to be in STEM and earn a STEM degree. That's what we told her two years ago.  [/quote]
