<p>A week ago, Southern Arkansas University sent me a little letter signed by HAND from the dean informing me that I have been accepted and granted a full ride.</p>

<p>This is different from those Mississippi/Alabama/Tulsa/etc spam mails where you still have to apply and change your national merit finalist recipient.</p>

<p>They do not want anything from me, nothing, nona, no application, no score report, no high school transcript. All they want is a signature on the backside of the letter with a sentence of acceptance within 15 days.</p>

<p>Obviously, there is no chance in hell that I am going there, but I was wondering if others on CC know of other colleges that do this?</p>

<p>Also, this is not a NMF thing, rather they said it was based on my “ACT score” and “academic excellence”, which they have no access to. I am “pretty” sure that I have never sent them anything. My school does not have my ACT score. How did they get access in the first place?</p>

<p>That sounds kinda shady.</p>

<p>I did know a friend who got a legit full ride to Kansas State because of his SAT scores. But he didn’t get a hand-written letter.</p>

<p>My bad, I completely misread.</p>

<p>Hand signed isn’t weird. I had a dean from TCU send me two letters of acceptance and the signatures on both were slightly different.</p>
