Hiding Admissions Result from Parents

My cousin did a similar thing. He got accepted into Princeton but his parents had no idea of the level of prestige of the school (hence being recent immigrants). He kept trying to tell them about the school but they would not understand. They didn’t want him to go to an out of state school. So basically, what he did was wait until the last minute like two weeks before he was leaving to tell them that he was leaving whether they like it or not. So eventually, after a bit of shock and tantrum, they agreed and let him go.

Do you think it was it a justifiable thing to do?
