I file as an independent and my parents claim me. Is it true that my parents must submit their taxes before i submit mine?

I'm a college student with enough income to be required to file, but still rely on my parents enough for them to claim me as a dependent as well.  My parents are convinced that the world will end if I submit my tax return before they do. Is this true? Are there any rules about who files first?
