Help Me Debunk University Consulting Prep School Myths

[GMTplus7]

<p>

So I am currently in quite a frustrating situation and I need some help convincing my parents. For the past few days, I have been taken to around 4 prep schools</p>

<p>My parents are now making me do 5+ hours of SAT Math every day (because I’m “only” getting a 700), and basically won’t listen to anything I have to say.</p>

<p>I’M SO FRUSTRATED. It’s hard to communicate with Asian parents sometimes.</p>

<p>Today morning, my mom went through all my SAT tests and marked each one of them. I think I’m going crazy.</p>

<p>I do a lot of activities outside of school, so my parents are very upset about that. They think I should stay home and study more (even though I already spent so much of my time studying).</p>

<p>my parents have spent a lot of extra money on prep center classes, standardized exams and whatnot. Similarly, I also had to sacrifice a lot of things to apply to American schools. If I didn’t get into a top 15 school, it would be more than a bit disappointing. If I didn’t study sat math in the library everyday, my parents won’t leave me alone

<p>@OP, I suggest that when you write your essays for Harvard, Brown, Cornell, UPenn, or whatever, that you express yourself more clearly than you have in this thread. Until post#40 you lead us to believe your evil parents were forcing you to toil, Cinderella-like, to get into an elite American school. </p>

<p>And FYI, Berkeley doesn’t give aid to undergrad int’l students.</p>
