[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 483678, member: 3419"] Stressed, I understand. I go through this nearly every day, knowing that my difficult child could be a straight-A student but he couldn't care less, and we'll be lucky if he attends and finishes a community college. on the other hand, your daughter has already shown herself capable, and has been pulled under by depression, so it's possible for her to lift herself up again, academically. However, if it's too much for her, she may become so depressed and overwhelmed, she never recovers. I agree with-Confuzzled, that most community colleges now require basic courses during the first yr, so your daughter will still be able to work her way through for the first yr or more with-o getting "stuck" in a field she doesn't like. And she'll have a counselor to help her figure out which credits transfer (some of it can be done online, or with-admissions offices at various universities). I would just take a deep breath and let yourself be sad for awhile, and not dwell on it after a while. She has plenty of time to change her mind and take many more courses. [/QUOTE]
