I’m about to head to the University of Chicago for college and my boyfriend is entering his senior year of high school. He is my favorite person. I’ve been encouraging him to go to the same school as me because we have similar interests, and UChicago is a really good school for physics, so he wouldn’t be throwing away any opportunities. However, he is set that his number one school is MIT, and trust me, he has the potential to get accepted there. He says his number two school is UChicago. So if he gets into UChicago, and gets rejected from MIT, he will most definitely be going to UChicago and we would be able to be together. But if he gets into MIT, he would choose the school over me. I’m trying not to be upset about this because if it were up to me I’d go to the same school as him because I prioritize my relationships. Anyway, he told me that even if he goes to MIT, we could still try to keep the relationship going, but I don’t know how I’d be able to cope with that as someone with BPD.
