<p>iamme16: I agree with BS Novice & with Lvillegrad’s 2nd paragraph. I faced a situation similar to yours eons ago, when I applied to BS (I am now a parent of 2 BS students). A coach accompanied me to some interviews, and my hometown minister, to the others. My parents did not prohibit me from applying, but they were intimidated by BS, the application process, and especially, the costs. I came from a blue-collar family where no one had finished high school. I was straightforward with my interviewers, and I suspect that my coach & minister provided the schools some insights into my family. I had some disappointments, but I expected that. Overall, the process went pretty well & I think my determination outweighed the downsides I presented to the schools. Good luck, and remember, let the schools tell you it won’t work – don’t quash the possibility yourself.</p>
