if you end up being rejected/waitlisted from all of your schools, and your parents won’t allow you to attend binghamton, have you—and they—considered a gap year? your parents may be very against that as well, but it is an option if you ever need it. i, myself, was in the same position last year you’re in currently, so i took a gap year, regrouped, and things turned out well this time around for me.
