<p>Just make it clear to him that you DO NOT want to, and you'll do whatever you want no matter what they say. They're not going to watch you drop out of college for financial reasons because you're still their kid.</p>
<p>I've heard of parents threatening not to send pay for college if the kid doesn't go to the "right" school. Pretty scary.</p>
<p>But "right" is a subjective word. Any school can be the "right" school, depending on your definition of "right."</p>
<p>No, you see when your African things are different, there is a whole level of respect. My dad and I already don't get along, and he is forcing me to take AP BIO.I also forgot to add you get summer homeowork for AP BIO, what the hell!!!!!I don't want to take that class I'm not ready, I'm not that fast and quick at thinking. Someone has to explain things to me a few times before I can understand it, I'm just not a fast learner. I just don't think I can do good in that class. I want to get good grades senior year so my Cumulative can go higher. tchaikovsky---my dad would do that if i decided to go to someone else besides OSU. I'm not looking forward to applying for colleges, all hell is going to break loose in this house.</p>

<p>Really? Tell him you're not going to OSU once you get into like NYU or like Georgetown or something. My mom was like that for a while. She was like "NYU or UC and I'm not paying for anything else." But my first choice happens to be NYU Stern anyways. I assure you, THEY WILL NOT WATCH YOU GO DOWN IN FLAMES JUST BECAUSE YOU DO SOMETHING THEY DON'T APPROVE OF (go someplace else other than OSU), because you're still their kid, whether you do drugs or go to Harvard. </p>
<p>If they still want you to go to OSU when you get into a better college, disown them. Those kinds of parents aren't the kind you want anyways. Just kidding:)</p>
<p>I agree, African parents = Asian parents in terms of academics.</p>
<p>I am not African but I'm African-American and I can agree with you on that one Hazhulkhen cause when it comes to acadeimcs my parents don't play!</p>
<p>umm.. AP Bio is a lot of work and now that im in second semester senior year kinda regret it even though it is a great class... also in addition to the schools you listed, you should check out ohio univ.-athens b/c it is amazing!</p>
<p>A lot of ppl say AP bio is easy to self study for and not take the course, is it? has anyone done it? From what i've seen here it looks too hard to self study.</p>
<p>I don't think Biology AP is a good test to self-study. Too much stuff to memorize and read, unless you have a lot of diligence and patience.</p>
<p>Ohiogirl07: Doesn't your father know that you don't need AP Biology to get into OSU?</p>
<p>yes, obviously AP BIO is too hard to self-study, i'm self-studying for AP GOV and ECON should be fun.ha..i don't know, my dad is forcing me to go to Ohio State, and he just wants me to take all the hard classes. I know I will have no choice at all. I just know it.!</p>
