Hello my friend,

First of all shake it off the load of extracurricular just try to identify which course you wanna get into search for introductional skills on it.

Next step be honest to yourself.

Just take out a whole day from your schedule to buy a diary and write your action plan ,aspirations, things at which you are good at and all your options (backup or other exams which u wish to give) if not ivy league for any unforeseen circumstances. Talk with your parents about your plan and how will it benefit you.See they always try to understand you but when they think it is something in which you may suffer then they just get carried away with their concern.

Remember do not fight or force it on them but keep on working your profile and arrange counselling session for them.
