Told two different schools I'm attending in the fall, is this bad?

<p>I should make some clarifications to my situation</p>

<p>I’m not waiting to find out my financial aid situation. I don’t care, I know both schools will give me good money.</p>

<p>I’m not worried about the ethics of not choosing by the deadline.</p>

<p>I’m not going to force a decision that I’m not 100% happy about. I’ve been through this college process too many times, and know exactly what I’m looking for and what I want out of school. (This will be the 4th college I’ve attended)</p>

<p>Here are the questions I have.</p>

<p>Will either college rescind my admissions? I’m not worried about this, I think it would be unheard of if they did, but since so many people seem to think that colleges will live up to their “contracts” in the SIR, please give me some horror stories of it happening before. I’ve heard of none, yet.</p>

<p>My BIG question is about financial aid, but apparently I didn’t clarify it. I will be getting the majority of my financial aid from the federal government. They can only give me money to go to one school. If I’ve told two schools, will they both send requests to the government for money, and will the system freak out? When would this occur? The deadline for sending in transcripts is July 15th, do they file for financial aid after this?</p>

<p>Thanks, but I’m not looking for judgment, I’m looking for solid information on the “bad” things that may happen in this situation. I know full well that it is wrong, and that I’m cheating the system, but I’m doing what I must.</p>
