@AI73 From one parent to another parent. Leave your daughter be. Just saw her stats. Awesome. Congrats. Let her go her first year and take the basic classes like everyone else. With her advisor and not you she will figure it out and most likely faster then you assume. Some kids need breathing room. She is telling you this but your not hearing her. I totally understand your position and wants. I can be overbearing as a parent also. But she is telling you directly to back off. My kids especially my son told me that the application process was not fun and more anxiety and worries due to me and my wife keeping on them. Trust me, I am the perfect parent and make no mistakes but I made the process more painful then it needed to be. Your daughter is very intelligent and capable it seems. She will be fine. We all want our kids to mature and grow up then we don’t let them do that.
Let her make the decisions with “slight” nudging from you.
