對大女兒的專業和職業選擇，蔡美兒這次180度的大轉彎，表示絕不幹涉。《虎媽戰歌》雖然賺足了稿費和名氣，但蔡美兒幾乎成了虐待兒童的代名詞。絕大多數美國人都譴責她，盡管她表麵上故作鎮靜，但小女兒露露披露“我媽進入了抑鬱癱瘓狀態”（it sends my mom into paralyses of depression, actually）。
所以“虎媽”現在至少表麵上也很美國化了，她象大多數普通的美國人一樣，說：“（對索菲婭參軍的決定）我們一開始都驚呆了，但她決定服務我們的國家，我們沒有什麽比這更驕傲的了。” （We were stunned when she first told us, but now we couldn't be prouder that she wants to serve our country.）
One more point: it depends on IF the kid has potential (and gene plays big role).
This is based my experience with my two kids (biological one and adopted one) and kids of my sister/brothers. My two kids are on the two opposite ends of "the Bell Curve".

Undergraduate admission is NOT based on majors or minors. In fact, most student doesn't even know what majors or minors they want to pursue at the time of application.
At the start of school, academic advisers help student to choose a direction of study. Students can always change their minds in the undergraduate years.
Being accepted to Harvard is a great recognition of the prior efforts and talents. Congratulations!

哲學和梵文不是熱門專業，比較好進。

原來虎媽的大女兒要步父母後塵學法，踩著父母的肩膀是比別人容易些。
