Who is in the wrong here?
>have grades in the top 0.5 percent of my country
>can only get in to roughly top 25 percent due to ridiculously specific/stupid circumstances
>fault of my mother (not an autistic spergout, this really is a very rare case)
Is it wrong I'm pissed off at her about this?

I don't understand why universities hate you. What do they say?
Anyway, it does sound like her fault if she pressured you into getting a job

Only my recent grades are good, older ones are completely terrible. It's very rare for people to improve lots, so unis flat out reject you for older grades

Oh, that does sound shitty anon. I can see why they'd do this too, it sounds to them like you might have cheated and they don't like to work on case by case basis.
I'll say this though: mothers don't listen to their kids but they watch closely. To her, you probably just looked dumb, and she pressured you into what she thought was the best option.

It's very common for a son to be misunderstood by his parents (and not in the edgy teen way, but actually misunderstood) and end up fighting over that. Above all, always remember that your mother is definitely not as smart as you and many times you have to challenge her, but she means well.

It's not definite one way or another if you're just being spergy, but plenty of people from crap universities do fine. Especially if they go to a crap school for undergrad and go to a better graduate school. People (employers) only really care about the place you got your highest degree from.
Basically, go to whatever school and crush it. You'll make it one way or another keep your head up I love you

yes, if I was you I'd probably kill your mom.
parents are fucking worthless, most people who have kids have no fucking idea what they want to do with their lives and are usually full of regrets. Children are the perfect subjects for them to vent upon.
Well my man, as other anons said, go to a shitty uni and work your way up, I'm a diagnosed schitzo and that really fucked up my AS levels (5A*s + 6As at GCSE-> 2C's + 1B at AS), but I'm doing my A2 exams in a few weeks and I'm feeling a lot better this time round.
