OK…this is not going to be a popular post. I interpreted the OPs post as being all about who was in control. It seemed to me that the parent wanted to be in control of the whole shabang. The daughter was secondary to the decision making. If the daughter had chosen the major the parent wanted, the parent would have sent the child to any of the schools. BUT the daughter didn’t want to commit to a major (like so many other college freshmen) and poof…the options were removed by the parent.

My only hope is that the parent was upfront with the daughter “DD, you will ONLY be able to attend the school of your choice if you choose the major of MY choice.”
