Ok. Here’s my question.
You stated “ my safety school is to cry in a corner.”
That’s not a safety school. Do you have any ?
Now your parents will only pay for A&M so that is problematic but there are many schools out there with great aid.
Listen, I hope you get into A&M - but what is your plan if you don’t ? Have you not applied to or are you not planning to apply anywhere else ?
In the end, it’s best to be proactive, not reactive.
And talk to your folks.
I’m not them but I don’t think many parents would say this school or nothing. It seems unlikely. Fir many, A&M would just not be right. Too big ? For others they might not get in.
How about other A&M campuses like Galveston as a back up ?
