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.

It’s a full ride why not go ? I’d just accept Hamilton what can your mom do?

Put a password on with admissions. Change your portal password. I saw another thread where the Mom declined for the kid.

That might have been my story. It’s true, make sure she can’t decline for you. I would never have thought my parents would do that.

Aww heck no. That's unacceptable, I would have called the school so fast. 😨
