I agree with letting the college talk wait until the spring. A lot can change with kids in 6-9 months. But I do empathize with your frustration. It’s hard to see our kids be negative about things, especially when they have been given great opportunities. Is she negative and bored with other things in her life too, besides college choices and the medical program? Negative thinking, lack of interest etc.might indicate some trouble with her mood. I’m guessing she will have a different attitude next summer and maybe her practical side will turn out to be a good thing.
