Financial Aid - seems like we are being scammed.

<p>Mmm, this poster has what look like legitimate previous posts. I don’t think it is creative writing. Somewhere in northern California is a school to avoid…</p>

<p>Nothing earth shattering to report on this topic.</p>

<p>And since it seems the topic of discussion has now turned to whether or not this is a true story…I want to thank those of you who were supportive, and for those who are not…obviously this is the wrong forum to discuss complicated issues. I’ll take my problems elsewhere.</p>

<p>There is a problem here, but not in Financial Aid. If awards are made based on credit hours and grades and what the aid office gets does not make the cut line, they will cut the aid. A meeting is needed ASAP with the Dean of students and maybe the president of the university to find out exactly what is happening here.<br>
The story does not sound right to me, so the parent and student need to get to the bottom of all of this. In my experience, fishy stores tend to be missing essential facts and have some misrepresented situations. I am a bit cynical about all of this after meeting the most delightful students who scammed their parents out of tuition of college and did not attend. I’ve seen the most incredible scenarios that kids have set up. </p>

<p>Now maybe all of this is true. If it is, then the university has a responsibility to step in and fix the situation. But I would keep an open mind that there may be more to this whole story.</p>
