<p>Don’t count on getting off of any waitlists. It’s been a rough year for admissions all over. Fathers can be harsh on sons, there’s not much you can do to make them listen or be realistic. Ignore the negatives and concentrate on enjoying the anticipation of going away to college. Next fall you will get to study and learn to the best of your ability. Each year makes your father’s opinions less important as well as gives him time to mellow. If YOU really want to go to V Tech you can apply for a transfer with a good record at your college (just don’t tell you father about this possibility or that you are doing it to avoid complications if you choose not to or don’t get in).</p>
