They want her to stay, because they can't function on their own.
Thats why they will not fill out that paperwork.

ever hear of emansapation???

Thats too hard to do at her age. No money or anything. I guess she'll just turn to a counselor. Thanks for the help.

this is the g/f : ). He is right, my parents are a nightmare. I just want to get a good education. To show you how naive my mother is about all this ill give you all an example: she says i should go to community college, get a "small" career like photography *wth* or as a hair stylist *huh* and then get money, and then go to a big college, and do what i wanna do. what a waste of time. i want to major in engineering. that's my parents for you. she tells me to not expect scholarships, since she thinks ill have to resort to community college anyway.

i mean the least they can do is support me in all of this. i never ask for anything. i mean i know they have money problems. for example i need clothes, havent even gotten anything new in a year. my boyfrined helps me though. he sees what i have to go trhough and he gives me whatever he can.

i just want  a good education and to be succesful. that's it. nothing else. im not asking them for money, or anything, just their support.

Are you fuckin' serious? This is fuckin' MIT. Forge that shit.
 

 agreed, MIT is the best technology school ever (i think)  
 i would forge that shit.  
 


Second only to India Institute of Tech, where people are disappointed if they don't get in and have to settle for Harvard.


bullshit, india mass product computer science graduates and indians do know that a western education is THE WAY to escape india. Don't be fool by the facade those islands of modernization provide, india is still a developing country way behind china and even chinese students are dying to be educated in the western system.

as for this girl who has problems, your problems are overrated for two reasons: 1) your invitation to MIT does not mean acceptance but your sob story could help, again, you stated that you are poor beyond poverty itself and most schools feel that education is the only way for some one to better themselves. Putting these two things together means for you that when you submit your application you include a letter so the admissions committee can read and feel bad for yourself. As for the second thing, not going to MIT won't mean the end of the world for you, any undergrad engineering program is basically the same, do well in undergrad, spread your wings, and apply for MIT grad school.

Oh, also, you should not make your boyfriend buy stuff. Even if you are poor and suffering and shits, be independent.

Wow. How did that go, did she/you end up going to the thing?

If you missed something important, don't be afraid to approach MIT staff directly and explain the situation and ask for info/support/updates. Genuine dedication is always welcome at any uni, I've found. Most people would try to help, just be persistent and patient.

Dude... this sucks.
 I'd recomend that she'd talk to her couselor about it. Since her parents wont sign it, have her tell the truth: 'My parents are retards and wont sign it. I'm going though. You can't stop me.'...
 or somthing like that feels about right.

Plus I'd go to the counselor about not able to get her parent's SSN, maybe they can call her parents up or are able to find alternative ways she can get the information.

Forging her parents signature could harm her chances of getting in, that is if they find out.

What kind of a permission form is it?  Could her high school principal sign it?  School counselor?

Which is kinda why she wants to get in since she wants to go into technology. She's already applying to scholarships and what not and she def. wont let her parents stop her from going to college just they wont let her go to this visit thing. And she says the papers req. her parents ss-tax info-income etc. which she doesn't know. Right now her parents are just insanely retarded, take away her phone she cant go anywhere (as if she ever does) and they say anyone that calls for her they'll take another thing away from her. Do you guys know if she can call MIT and kinda go w/o permission or at least just a signature or something?

JUST FORGE THE FUCKING THING
I'll say it again, this IS MIT.
The #1 fuckin' hardest school to get into.


Once again, this.

It's not that hard. She has a good reason to get emancipated by the way she lives.

Plus the state should help her out and once she is in college, loans/government money will pay for her living.
