<p>Student jumping in.
My parents have specifically told me that it is my decision where I go. At this point, I would be highly upset if they tried to veto any school I was accepted to.
However, at the same point, I highly value my mother's opinion, and if she suggested that I did not apply to school a for whatever reason, I would most likely not apply there. So long as a parent is upfront about it and doesn't try to veto a school after the application is out, then I don't see a problem (exceptions being if something "bad" happens at the school after the app. is out).</p>
