Today, I found out that Yale had actually accepted me 17 years ago. My mother apparently burned my acceptance package and letters because she didn't want me to upstage her UChicago degree. FML
OPhere tells us more.
OP here. To the people who said I deserved it, my psychotic mother actually had the balls to craft a ******* rejection letter and mail it to me. I was sixteen and had never seen an authentic denial letter from Yale---you guys would've believed it, too, had you been in my shoes. To the people who keep bringing up e-mail: it was 1996. As my generation will tell you, we grew up without the internet. To the people who agree that my mom's a bitch, damn straight she ******* is. My daughters and son will not be seeing much of mee-maw anymore, nor will I. To the people who said I wouldn't be who I am today without that lie: Doesn't matter; parents are supposed to nurture their children, not deprive them for personal gain.

In some fields, University of Chicago is more prestigious than Yale. Maturity is not one of them.

Your mom is a seriously self absorbed, selfish bitch. I'd disown her.

What a complete bitch. FYL. OP if Yale is still something that you want for yourself, you can still go. It might be difficult, but it's never too late.

Look up your degree of your choice at that time, calculate the average income for it, add up the amount of years went by, then call up a lawyer...
