A few random things…
-No matter how good of student you are, getting into those top schools is a crapshoot for anyone.

And if you do get in to a top school, know that you are well deserving. My S’s guidance counselor said that admissions officers do a fantastic job at admitting only people who can succeed at their school. This is particularly true of the hyper-competitive schools which have tons of candidates to choose from.
-But perhaps most importantly, why don’t you talk honestly to your dad? It sounds like he is trying to support your interest in physics. Perhaps the two of you could spend time looking for schools that might meet your personal as well as academic needs.
