<p>Will your dad agree that if you apply, and give it an honest appraisal, that you can go to your other schools should you be admitted to both?</p>
<p>If you agree to visit Dad’s choice, will he agree to support your visiting the other schools (so you can make that honest appraisal).</p>
<p>If so, agreeing to apply and visit Dad’s choice sounds like a good compromise. (BTW, you may fall in love with his school and decide to go there. Stranger things have happened.)</p>
