<p>We did the college search last year. I don’t recall any lies. But as I’ve mentioned elsewhere, we did feel misled by one school’s National Merit Finalist scholarship description. Some schools have a special award for finalists. Others “build” their award out of other scholarships, and they come right out and say that; University of New Mexico is especially clear about the way that works. The school I felt misled us is a lot less clear, and an email to financial aid was likewise misleading. It only became clear in hindsight, and then I felt, “Well, duh!”</p>
