<p>Hi!
If you were to apply to a "lesser" university that offers you a great scholarship with a deadline but your dream school doesn't give you reject/acceptance letter until after the deadline, can you accept the scholarship to lesser college but then attend the dream school? What if it's pretty much guaranteed that dream school will not offer you money?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I took the “lesser” college with money route last year, and haven’t regretted my decision yet. If you’re going to seriously struggle with money at your dream school, I don’t think it’s worth the trouble.</p>
<p>Thanks for replying!</p>
<p>Is it possible to accept a scholarship but then attend a different university?</p>
<p>Yes. This happens all the time when people are on wait lists. Just be sure to notify school A that you won’t be coming as soon as you get off the waitlist or resolve the situation with school B.</p>
