This is an extremely dumb topic even by Komaiko standards

Yeah, I can't believe everyone is trying to be so unintelligent.

I'm never gonna get to that point LOL

Do you truly believe you will be able to not only find, but also qualify for and win $32,000 in scholarships that will pay out between now and the end of the semester?

That's my back up plan

Yes, your back up plan is to never pay them back. So...that's when you said that you're never going to pay them back. You have a ridiculous longshot scenario where you magically get $32k in scholarships with no intention of paying the tuition back if your plan doesn't work out. I feel like you actually know what everybody is trying to say but you're being intentionally dense.

And you're being intentionally misleading. I'm never gonna get to that point LOL

Not misleading at all. I'm using your words, not mine. If your brilliant scholarship idea doesn't work out, you're going to stiff the school on tuition. Your words.

Look at all these emails I'm getting

Feel free to highlight which of those emails are the names of scholarships for which you are eligible. It's not particularly clear from the subject line (fyi: this deficiency in your communication skills is something you might want to work on before attempting to win scholarships by writing essays).

All. Just gotta wait to hear back

You've applied for scholarships named "OnlineCheckingAccount," "CBD Coffee," and "Water Delivery Service"? And you're waiting to hear back on emails that are in your spam folder?

I just had an idea. I can bust out my 3DS and RECORD the phone call. I'll do that sometime on Wednesday if they don't respond

Yes! Do this! Then post the video on YouTube so we can hear. Remember DC is a "one-party consent" law. Meaning you don't have to tell them you're recording the conversation. Just make sure your state is a "one-party consent" state too so you don't get in trouble. Good luck and looking forward to hearing what they say.

That doesn't answer either of my questions.

In all seriousness, dude, if you actually want to get $31,000 in scholarships by december, you should have applications out right now for at least $40-45,000 worth, and another $5-10,000 every week from now until you confirm that you've gotten the money you need. You almost certainly will not succeed, especially where anything based on financial need will recognize that you have so many cheaper opportunities closer to home, but you have to seriously commit to that plan, not just hope that it'll work out because you think you deserve this.

You linked ~50 emails in your spam inbox, not one of which looks like a scholarship, and not one of which is an email sent by you (since it's an inbox and all). Name five, or you're very obviously lying (I mean, that's already obvious, but this is your chance to be a better person and admit it).

If I don't have an answer Friday, I'll just call them

^Can't edit. I'll call and record the call
---

Something tells me the delay in responding to the email is because they're consulting their legal team to figure out if they can revoke your acceptance after you've paid the deposit.

Oh well. I was looking forward to the phone call or excuse why he couldn't call.

I called them today.

Here's the first video. It's not important, it just shows I called the correct number and not my friend or something because I'd know you guys would spin that bs theory on me. You can also see me representin' with my AU shirt

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwyDqLS6e8U" data-time="

Here is the second video. I had to cut it in half because they asked for some sensative information and I didn't feel like editing. I asked them out paying deadlines where they said that I WOULD NOT be kicked out if I didn't pay by August 1st (yesterday)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVKdin6Gs40" data-time="

Here is the third video. It's just be dicking around with the financial aid office about my plan. I'll save you ten minutes and say she endorsed my plan and encourage me to search for more scholarships. I skipped to when they pick up but you can see the beginning I show the number on screen.

In other words, I'm right!

Why are you like this? Do you have an actual doctor you see?

What was in it reference to?

eeeeeeee-eee-ee-eeeeeeee it was in reference to...

lmfao

Im pretty drunk but that second video had me laughing really good. Well done man.
---

Thanks for actually posting, but again you need to be careful about doxxing yourself!

Anyway, I want you to know that whatever the lady in the first video (was it the bursars office?) said to you probably should not be entirely trusted unless she sends you a written official email. People make promises over the phone all the time and sometimes these are unenforceable because it turns out a worker messed up and gave you faulty information. If its just a phone call, you have no evidence and they can plausibly deny.

plus, when she talked about collections you should probably not treat that lightly. She said they will keep assessing a late payment fee on the outstanding balance (0.5%?) and that could be a huge barrier in your future life. I dont understand... youre politically conservative but you are willing to put yourself in huge student loan debt? I thought you guys were not fond of liberal arts majors who catch debt and need to work a service job for some time before moving on with their lives.

Lastly, the financial aid office seemed super helpful. You should have asked if you can defer your acceptance into the spring semester so that you can actually get financial aid from FAFSA. Plus, wherever you end up going to school, you should definitely investigate whether they can put your bill into a deferred payment plan/installment plan if you want to have extra time to come up with the entire balance.

You won't be kicked out. You'll just keep accruing interest on your outstanding balance and prevented from enrolling in any future semesters. It'll then be turned over to collections if you still don't pay it.

She encouraged to look for more scholarships because that's your only choice at this point. You also conveniently left out the part of the plan where you "go off the grid" and stiff the college on their tuition.

You have a very odd definition of being "right."
