The school my father is a professor at has 13k instate tuition and has a very good honors program. Many students that have come up through the honors program went on to grad school at ivies. That school also gives out a lot of merit and need based aid. In addition, I've taken classes through their programs and students that have done so have a 90% admittance rate. So therefore I am not too considered about admissions / tuition at this school. <<<

Good, that school can be one of your safeties. Do you live in that state? If not, will the school consider you to be instate because your dad lives there?
That said, that it’s a good idea to have more than one financial safety.
Have you asked your dad how much he’ll pay?
