Accepted REA, but my school won't let me apply to others RD. How can I get out of this?

Hey All!

So my high school is a private school with this policy to prevent top dogs from getting in and taking all the spots. I never signed any legally binding document or anything with my school, but it seems to be a rule that the school firmly holds. I would need a strong reason to convince them to allow me to apply to another top 20 school regular decision.

I wouldn’t need them to write another rec or anything, but I don’t want to just go behind the cc office back and then not being supported by my own school in case information is requested or mid-year grades are needed to be sent to the RD school.

I also don’t want to give up my REA spot, as I don’t want to end up with no options.

Is there a valid reason I could give to my cc office that could get me through this?Thoughts?

Thanks!
