<p>“You’re right, but what am I supposed to do?”</p>
<p>You’re supposed to be honest. You still can go to college just as is the case for students whose parents really can’t afford their college educations. However, you’ve got an advantage that most such students don’t have: You’ve got the stats to be applying to Ivies, which means you’ve got the stats to qualify for full ride merit aid.</p>
<p>Take the time to research what colleges offer excellent merit aid – and the apply to those colleges. There’s a good chance that your state public universities offer excellent merit aid to top in-state applicants, so check out those colleges.</p>

<p>If you’ll be a National Merit scholar there are plenty of colleges that offer full rides to such students.</p>
<p>Also, perhaps if your parents know you won’t go along with their hiding money scheme they’ll still give you some money for college. Your taking a stand against their unethical actions may cause them to become ashamed of what they’re planning to do.</p>
