Have you considered talking to your HS counselor about having them convince your parents that there are other options? You could possibly throw in some statistics about the correlations between mental health/happiness and college choice. Also, do you have any family members (cousins?) that have applied to college recently/are going to college? If so, what are their parents’ policies on college selection?
I am also sorta in your ocean, with my mom only wanting me to go to UCI (my scores and GPA aren’t as good as yours haha) 15 minutes across town. Even though the school is good, I don’t think I would happy there. Anyway, college is YOUR experience, not theirs. It seems as if they are trying to live vicariously through you, and while it might be understandable (my parents were immigrants too), it is YOUR life. I think if you got into Stanford and had to go there because of your parent’s will, you would immediately regret that choice and would not thrive, and would be a waste of time. I myself considered figuring out a way to pay for my own application fees to Boston University and Northeastern University, because both have strong health sciences programs that I really wanted a chance to apply to in order to one day become a PA. My mom doesn’t want me going out of state, or even a couple hours away, just because she thinks we won’t get financial aid (which isn’t true, since my parents are divorced and I could qualify for the Blue and Gold UC scholarship).
My advice: You could either try your best on your essays/interviews; if I were you, I might regret not trying hard enough. Or, you could be mediocre and say you tried your best. Do your parents know what your writing style is like when it’s strong (since you said you’re a strong writer)? In a couple months when application portals open for the next season, I might bring up the conversation again, and ask guilt-tripping questions such as: do you care about my happiness and well-being? (honestly now that I think about it this sounds like bad advice but it would be something I would do if I was desperate)
