[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HS Counselors and consultants have an obligation to scare you when it comes to double depositing…..but the reality is that it is NOT illegal. And IF a university dares to rescind admission to a student who double deposited they would be sued so fast that the amount of money they would spend on litigation would be the equivalent of giving away 100% merit awards to more than 100 kids…

From another website:  “Andrew Flagel, former SVP for Students and Enrollment at Brandeis University, once suggested to his colleagues:

“I really like when the argument gets all fired up as a debate on ethics. It seems particularly charming that the same universities that are sending massively manipulative marketing materials (oh how I love alliteration) and providing entirely opaque information on scholarship and financial aid policies [that] they manipulate behind the scenes, then call students unethical for not being able to make up their minds by May 1…. I know I’ll catch a lot (A LOT) of flack for this, but it isn’t unethical, it’s a purchasing decision (let the flack begin!). You can place deposits on any number of items (say a car, just to draw the comparison most likely to inflame my colleagues) and decide NOT to make that purchase without being in the least unethical, can’t you?”[/quote]

Exactly. [/quote]
