[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say something to college guidance.

[b]Colleges will sometimes blacklist a high school the following year if this happens[/b].  You are likely harming kids in the grade behind you.  We saw this happen at our private school for one popular university when a former student screwed them over. [/quote]

Bull. Show us the evidence or it never happens.[/quote]

This happened to my high school when a student in the class above me was nominated and was offered one of those special 100% full ride (room, board, tuition, special summer internships, etc) scholarships and turned it down to go to Princeton (think Moorhead, Echols, etc). She had lied about her commitment to go to the scholarship schools, which is a big, fancy school often discussed on DCUM but she apparently wanted to go to Princeton instead.

That university didn’t accept students from our school for about 5 years. It’s a medium size private in Virginia (not in the DMV). So it definitely can happen. [/quote]

Is this private or public HS? OP is talking about a HS in MCPS which probably have a lot of students.[/quote]

The high school is private. The college is a large state flagship often discussed on here because the OOS cap is so low. Student allowed herself to be nominated for the scholarship, went through the entire interview and competition knowing she wanted to go to Princeton vs letting the school nominate another worthy student. The school was mad, the college was mad.I have no idea if it was more the parents’ or the student’s decision but it have consequences.

Just making the point that it can happen. Hopefully it doesn’t anymore and especially not to a large public high school with a large student population. [/quote]
