Wow… ick. Many colleges have an online “portal” that shows what has been received, and where they also post admissions decisions. But not all, some are still paper based. I supposed you can call admissions and talk with them about this. But realistically you will need your mom’s cooperation with things like the FAFSA, too. Are there any universities in your area – could you convince your mom to let you apply to those if you live at home for a year or two? Difficult situation… :(

Is her concern the cost? Or having you live away from home? Or something else?
