Your dad is just concerned about your future, and probably going through a lot of anxiety and sadness as you're preparing to leave the house for school. Sometimes people don't know how to express that and it comes out in ways that aren't productive, like angry outbursts.
It might be worthwhile to sit down and talk to him about your plans, get his advice on your college essays, express your concerns that he has a perception of you that doesn't match what's really going on. Connect with him now, show him that you're being responsible, and assure him that you'll still be his son after you're out of the house.
