How to tell my parents im not applying to imperial
For as long as I can remember, my dream uni was imperial. Now, i have been working hard but junior year was rough. I found it hard to cope, now my school will not allow me to take calc bc (further maths). Imperial needs calc bc for biomedical engineering MeNg which is what i want to apply for. Now, i can apply for biology with calc ab (regular maths a level), but it is a bsc and not engineering.
Because of this, i decided because of where my math level is i will not pursue bc calc, instead, focus on crushing ab. Now, many many other schools such as queen mary, ucl, sheffield.. etc etc all allow ab to be a prerequisite. I have decided that my mental state and math ability is best suited for this route, especially since i am en route for a formal diagnosis of anxiety/adhd, not sure yet.
Now, how am i supposed to tell my parents, that all of their hard work has gotten nothing in return. Im not going to imperial. How do i tell them im not the best? I am indian so if that provides any context. But i am struggling deeply with this, and i dont know if i can tell them without crushing them.
