Ok. I have to bump this. I am so thoroughly frustrated with my family. My dad just went ahead and PICKED OUT MY ED SCHOOLS for me. He said if I don’t make an effort to apply to these schools (and get in) that he wouldn’t pay for my college and he would give all the money to my brother. My brother is going to a state school for sure, and I have a solid chance at some privates (even if my dad doesn’t like them). I don’t see why he needs the money. With our 280k income bracket, we should be able to support the both of us just fine. My dad officially has 0 (possibly negative) faith in me. He just signed me up for some time consuming tutor because he doesn’t believe I can handle Calc. My brother’s the one that almost got a C in math if it wasn’t for the curve in the final. Not me. I don’t understand. I’m so upset. I just don’t know what to do anymore.
