omg, your mother is exactly the same as my mum!! She was crazy and obsessive with my study (yes my mother is sri lankan, big surprise). Also a massive worrier. It is no use trying to make my mum see the point as she firmly stands her ground. Lol, she just told me if i get 99.95, she'll buy me a dog! In order to make my mother happy, i have to be submissive and 'listen' to her. She uses this same speech on me everyday complaining that I never listen to her which is pretty much ironic because all what she said that you have to organize your time, do maths, do chem, do physics which obviously I know that. What am I trying to say that, from my experiences you would have to put up with her no matter what because she will NEVER eventually going to listen to you anyway. Even though that everyone say you should talk to your mother, this don't work at ALL in my family.
I know that sucks big time but trust me. Be strong and don't let your mother get better of you. Just pretend to 'listen' to her and nod along. You sound genius, especially with your perfect atar score and you know what is best for yourself. My sister is doing med right now and through the exam period, she was trying to keep her anxiety down and I supported her as she confided her fears into me, like she was worrying that she might not get the score she wanted. She never told this to my mother otherwise my mother would eventually get panicked and worry (and start pressurizing her). Now she passed with flying colours and my mother never bother her as she did when my sister was studying for vce. Basically, if you are feeling down, confide with your siblings or friends. Once you get in med, your mother will eventually let you do whatever you want and if not, REBEL! (secretly of course!
