OK, take a deep breath. Now that you’ve vented, do you feel better?

When you calm down, present your case about the money rationally to your mom. If there will be 3 of you in college your aid probably won’t change that much (or try going to one of the online financial aid calculators that figures out your EFC and see what happens if you increase your mom’s income).

If money is really her concern, and you can show that Macalester won’t cost her any more, and you can talk to her calmly and rationally about it, maybe you can change her mind. You said you haven’t approached her yet.
