[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a rising senior. My parents do not want me to go to school abroad, but I cannot see myself staying the US. I’m applying to 5 unis through UCAS, 3 in Europe and just the thought of writing a Common App essay makes me sad. 
I grew up in the US, but also had the opportunity to grew up travelling  all over the world. I have family in the EU/Switzerland/South America and just cant stand the thought of staying here.

How can I convince my parents to let me go?
I have a 3.9 uw gpa, in position to be the salutatorian, my SAT was 1540 and I already have 5 APs at 5.

Please advise![/quote]

You're likely to get into the UK universities very quickly. Apply as soon as UCAS allows (they are open now for filling in the information, but you can't send off until early Sept I think, this year). Show them your offers as they come in and show them how much money they are going to save by sending you there.[/quote]

Thank you for the support! I already wrote my UCAS personal statement. Should I even tell them I’m applying anyway?[/quote]

That's going to be up to you, really. [/quote]
