Also, if it is after you are accepted do you know usually how long?
Based on your posting history, you’ve been accepted into NE’s honors program with a big fin aid incentive. If you accept that position based upon falsified application materials (such as not disclosing prior college attendance), you will likely be committing fraud. It is highly likely that part of the fin aid package is Federal grant money. You will be committing fraud against the US Govt.
Your asking this question is to do what? When they discover you later, you will have committed the fraud and possibly be prosecuted for that. It’s happened. At least now, you’ve not yet accepted the money so I would highly suggest you speak to an attorney for further advice on how not to proceed with the fraud and to hopefully, still be enrolled.
Im already enrolled in college… Im a sophomore in a completely different school. I was just interested because i just found out what the clearinghouse was. Not everything wveryone posts has to be about them, you ever heard of curiosity guy?
Can’t see how this matters or is interesting unless “your friend” has done something fraudulent.
I would be surprised if there is a universal clearinghouse for college admissions. I would also be surprised if each college did not have its own verification system.
@yikesyikesyikes You’re mistaken. It’s inherently important for colleges to not enroll students who are trying to hide prior enrollment, grades, outstanding debts. Thus, they all upload their data and also can verify the history of applicants.
@T26E4 You are probably right - I completely forgot about prior enrollment.
So . . . what is this clearing house and how does it work??
