Argh..my parents won't let me apply to Caltech...

<p>I have no idea why they are complaining about earthquakes.
I have no idea why they are complaining about the economic situation either as I’ll probably go for a PhD after.
They allowed me to EA MIT so I don’t see what’s the problem. They think Caltech is “narrower” or something. Idk. I don’t think this is the main problem, it’s more of the earthquakes (lol) and distance thing.</p>
