Uh I’m in a similar situation except my parents can’t pay for the colleges either way. My parents are also making me apply to certain schools that I don’t want to go to and although I think that crippling debt would be worse, I am totally with you on wanting to go to a college that YOU want to go to. Show your dad that you can get into an even better college than Scripps and maybe he’ll be less demanding about you going to his choice of college.
