I really want to go to Brown. It’s my first choice. The only reason that i didn’t apply ED is because of financial aid. Assuming i get in (im somewhat of an athletic recruit but it’s complicated…rather not get into it) I told my parents this is my first choice school. My parents are foreign born and consequently ivy and rankings obsessed. They’re wanted me to apply to all the Ivy’s, which i didn’t, because i value fit over ranking. My parents told me that if i do get into Yale, then i have to choose it over Brown. They’re so stupid and i cant get through to them that i want to go to Brown. Can anyone give me some advice?
