I want to go to new york for fashion design but my mom is so scared to let me go out alone. I always ask her what she would say if i was going to NY for law or med school would she stop me then too? of course not.
Sorry to intrude in the conversation, but my parents were the same way. I just graduated college with a prelaw/poli sci degree. I had originally applied to law school and got in a few really good schools, but my heart wasn't in it. So I sent off a few applications and portfolios to design schools...and now I'm going to Parsons for fashion design. My parents were originally extremely upset, and I am paying for my own education in nyc, but they've come around and accepted things. It's harder for them, since they are both doctors and have those kinds of expectations. But just think about what you really want to do, and everything else will find a way! I'm not saying medicine is bad, my brother is a biochem major after all! But doctor or not, I'm sure you'll do great. Good luck!
