<p>OP, Now that you have all packages could you appeal to a guidance counselor at HS for help. Ask him/her to sit down with you and Mom and review all options. It may be that your Mom would respond more positively to another adult…she doesn’t seem to trust that you understand the finances, etc involved in college. Or maybe the admissions counselor at closest college, if you could get her to go, would help. Good luck</p>
