My son’s best friend is a Korean national and his parents sound a lot like yours. They expected their son to get into UVA or Cornell and he was not accepted to either one. He will be going to our state flagship in the honors program for engineering. His parents were very angry and very disappointed in him. But they just went to a reception for the honors kids and they came home very impressed and according to my son, there is now peace in the family. Has your dad visited JMU? He might change his mind if he were to meet with some professors.

Maybe some of his anger is that he feels like HE is the one who failed. Hang in there and continue to do the best you can. You will be attending an awesome school.
