Triangles314: Honestly, I’ve had moments just like this. My parents almost scrapped the app process for me completely. I was heartbroken, not to mention scared out of my mind. What is your primary worry? Is it the level of academic rigor that will be available to you? Is it the chance of starting over with new friends? Drive those points home. At the beginning of this process, I could only look at day schools. Now, I’m even applying to a school I a different state. The best way to handle things is to talk to your parents maturely. Try to avoid crying/breaking down. Show them that you’re ready for the more independent school lives. And explain that financial aid is available. Did you get your SSS results yet? Try and show them that they will get at least some money. I’m so sorry this is happening to you. I know it feels horrible. Sorry that this is one huge paragraph, but I’m on mobile.
