My hope is that I only have to go to the university of Mary Washington a year. Then, hopefully, it's ODU from there <3 thank you so much for the reply! I truly appreciate all of you for helping me out!

ADVICE FROM ONE WHO WAS MANIPULATED BY MOM:
Please follow your heart and apply to your dream school(s). My mother was one who manipulated every move I made. She managed to keep me from applying to those schools which would have moved me out of her control. The school I chose was still too far for her, but close enough that I would be home often enough for her to continue her manipulations for years to come.
You said you are home schooled. MANY home schooled students have transitioned to a traditional classroom setting with a lot of success. Mom needs to learn to cut the apron strings and allow you to test your own individuality. I gave my children lots of free space (even my special needs son). They both went away to school. My daughter is now the Chief Coordinating Officer for a firm that has been having troubles finding suitable employees because of all the helicopter moms who will not let go of their little snowflakes.
Good luck!
