my parents will not be paying for my college education. they aren’t aware of most of my achievements, extracurricular, etc. because my education isn’t a concern to them.
to out myself to them for the sake of discussing college would be to put myself in genuine physical risk. they do not have unconditional love for me, which is why i reach out to those with more experience with the college admissions process for realistic advice as to my chances.
regardless, thank you for your advice. <3
