When parents disagree on a prospective college

I do, however, think that it’s a lot “meaner” to tell a kid that he can’t go to a school he’s applied and been accepted to, versus to tell a kid that he can’t apply to a given school.

<p>What if circumstances not known at the time of application result in the parents’ objection after acceptance? Seems like a common one would be much worse than anticipated financial aid, causing the school to become unaffordable.</p>
