[quote=Anonymous]Don't do it. I did it in the mid-90's because the very selective school in question promised verbally I would get a particular full-ride scholarship. I was uninformed, my parents knew nothing about colleges and our guidance counselor knew less so we just went along. When I got in ED they of course did not award me any aid or scholarships. They sent a bill and harassed us a bit when I couldn't go but dropped it once I sent a letter setting out who in admissions I'd talked to, the date they had assured me of a scholarship, etc. Besides, there is a reason I couldn't go -- no $$. So not worth suing me. But it was pretty scummy to do that to a poor Appalachian kid. I learned a lot of lessons with that particular experience -- especially to get things in writing, and to not trust people to do what they say they will. Hard lessons at 16 and first of your family to go to college.[/quote]
