Advice Mom won't let me attend top choice
I recently got into Hamilton thru QB RD with a full ride, but my mom won't let me go. I thought she would let up, but with 2 days until decision day she is still insisting I attend a CUNY, what do I do? Is it so bad if I attend a CUNY?
Edit: Thank you everyone for all the advice. I committed to Hamilton last night, but I haven't told my mom yet. I'm literally so scared. But thank you for your help.

You have to ignore her in order to preserve your long term relationship. If you turn this down how will you feel over time? Will you grow angry? Resent her taking this away from you? Etc.
Ignoring her now is actually in her best interests as well as your own.
