Wait, did you change user names? I thought that your dad was forcing you to apply to CMC and you hated that one. You were freaking out about that a few months ago because you just didn’t feel comfortable there. Now it is Scripps? It sounds like you are just going to have to deal with it, to be honest. Scripps is a great school, if you can get in. You have the whole consortium to choose classes from. If you cannot get in, you may just have to choose from one of California’s fantastic public schools.
If you are fighting as much with your parents as much as you are commenting on CC about the situation, it might explane why you dad is getting so upset. In the end, it doesn’t matter, you can’t take on a debt of $250,000 without a cosigner.
