<p>I’d ask your Dad to come up with a list of 10 schools - that to his knowledge - he would approve of, and he could afford (and you might be able to get into. You as you are, not the 'ideal" you.) I don’t mean to give him all the power here over your life - but it may open the door to some common ground. It’s not reasonable to apply to only 1 school - he’ll have to like others. Give him a chance to work through this. Parents need to work through this too. He may have a dream for you which has died. He may have to grieve a little. Give him some say (just for now) See what he comes up with.</p>
