This "helicopter parent" thing is getting ridiculous

Parent of a high school student, overheard at a diner near campus:

"He totally f****ed up his application. We want to switch him over to early decision, but the representative from [University of X] called me and said he needs to declare a major first to do that. He doesn't want to declare a major. I told him, I don't care, you can major in bondage if you want, just declare a major so you can do early decision."
