Shame on that advisor for making her feel crappy instead of just talking through her interests and trying to find what other major would be a better fit. Isn’t that what we pay advisors to do – advise?
I hope your daughter comes to understand that there are brilliant kids in every major, including business and humanities and social science fields. I have that overachiever kid who excelled at everything in high school. But that doesn’t mean she enjoys everything – she loves languages, but if she had to take an engineering or chemistry class, she would be miserable. And same with a business class – absolutely no interest.
That doesn’t make her less smart, regardless of the reputations of the various majors.
My son’s speech therapist went to my alma mater (Florida), and she was pre-med until she got to organic chemistry. Pretty common, lol! So she went looking for another path and found speech-language pathology, and she’s been successful and fulfilled in that field. (My daughter is now applying for SLP grad programs after majoring in something tangential, so that story comes to mind.)
Hope your kiddo finds the right thing – and gives herself permission to be happy doing whatever that is!
