@lensonoda They’ve gotten over it. It took them nearly a week, but sooner or later they had to come to realize that it is my education, not there’s.
Also, I feel the same way when it comes to why my parents wanted me to go to HYPSM; it was definitely a touch of ignorance in regard to other schools, but also that they simply wanted to brag to others to say that “My son is going to Yale” or whatever. Show your parents how prestigious and top level the schools that you want to apply to are, and simply explain to them why you want to go there. I’m sure that eventually they’ll come to understand.
