parents mad about gap year

trying to get my mom to accept my gap year is like trying to talk to a wall. i guess she’ll just have to pikachu face when she makes me submit somewhere and i dont surprise get in 😭 maam acting like i can pull a september mcat miracle and get in somewhere, after how late id be applying.

anyway, this is just a vent about asian parents being super out of touch with admissions especially when they’re not even doctors “but x’s son got admitted and he’s your age!” yeah he was also in a eap? so he didn’t apply through the app, didn’t take the mcat??? (not saying that’s wrong but the requirements are different). anyone else struggle with parent judgement? 🥲
