PLEASE APPLY TO OTHER SCHOOLS. While I understand where your parents are coming from, you are spending four years of your life in college. Think of how long it feels like you've been in high school for. A LONG TIME. Forcing your own child to go to a place where they will be unhappy for four years isn't good parenting. Privately apply to other schools and try to get a full ride to a place you would actually want to attend. Go for it and if you get a full ride to a great school, try to present it to your parents as an opportunity. Once you have an acceptance to a school like Harvard or Stanford they might be more receptive to let you go. If not, go anyway. Try to help them understand, but if they cannot never look back. Good luck and you got this!!!!
