<p>I have an ethical question I was hoping folks could advise me on. As mentioned above, my daughter received a great merit based scholarship (Justice Brandeis), as well as a fellowship, offer from Brandeis. Since it was her first choice school she has already formally accepted it–she sent in the form and sent her $500.</p>
<p>She is “curious” to see what the other schools she applied to offere her, even though she is fully committed to Brandeis. </p>
<p>The question: would it be more appropriate for her to let the other schools know of her decision now, instead of after receiving acceptances and probably scholoarship offers from them in April? Could she potentially be taking a scholarship offer away from a student at her other schools, or do they offer more scholarships than they anticipate students accepting (like they do with acceptance letters)?</p>
<p>She wants to be fair to the other schools, and not negatively hamper the possibility of a student at one of the other schools not getting a scholarship. But on the flip side, she paid the full application fees to the other schools, jumped through their hoops, and is just “curious” to see how they rank her and the level of scholarships they end up offering.</p>
<p>Any advice or suggestions?</p>
<p>Thanks everyone!</p>
