<p>I think it should be the student who makes the final call, but that’s because I’m a student. My parents are obsessed with me going to either an Ivy or a Swiss tech school, and are angry that I want to apply to other schools too. They don’t really get the American college process. </p>
<p>More importantly, who makes the final call on a major? My dad is firm on claiming he will withdraw financial support if I become a philosophy major, haha. I don’t want to major in philosophy, but I don’t want to major in mechanical engineering like he wants me to, either.</p>
