<p>You’re right that you should be doing interviews alone. It’s true that colleges don’t want to see a parent there with you.</p>
<p>But it seems to me that there is more going on then just college interviews here. There’s some relationship baggage that’s at the root of your problem. Your mom wanting to do college interviews with you is just a symptom. People don’t have reactions like this over nothing.</p>
<p>You could just have her sit near you, but not at the same table, and enter at different times. College doesn’t know your parent is there, problem solved.</p>
