Should I lie

Paying for College
1

<p>There is a local scholarship of $500 for someone that wants to major in some goofy major in relation to studying the ocean. On the application it ask what you will major in. Should I lie and say I will major in one of those programs? I honestly don’t see anyone applying… I live in Missouri, the ocean is some distance away.</p>

<p>Lie man, it wont hurt you.</p>

<p>Nope, never lie on your college stuff, it will come back and bite you!</p>

<p>If you are not sure of your major, you could say you are considering it, but you’d better have some thoughts about it to discuss in an interview</p>

<p>Its for a $500 scholarship, not for college. An few are applying anyways for it.</p>

<p>Jeez alien, for such an avid poster on the Christian thread, you change your morals in a hurry. :p</p>

<p>As far as the distance from the ocean- that’s actually irrelevant. Carleton is excellent if you want to go into oceanography, but it’s miles from the ocean. </p>

<p><em>gets back on track</em></p>

<p>I agree with somemom- say you’re considering it (tell them it’s a possible second major if you know you want to major in something else).</p>

<p>well if you end up getting it, they’ll probably send it to the school you’re going to attend right? and if they find out you’re not going to major in it, they probably won’t give it to you. if you’re gettnig the money yourself, then go for it. haha.</p>

<p>I’m with somemom. Don’t lie. It’s never a good idea.</p>

<p>kinglin- There are far too many scholarship opportunities available. How proud do you think you would be to tell people that you won this scholarship? Hey, try out for the local funeral industry money, too. And what about that women in engineeering scholarship? Are you female? Hey they’ll probably never actually see you. They probably just send the check in the mail.</p>

<p>Seriously, if you have some legitimate interest in oceanography but are undecided, that’s one thing, but geez, if you don’t- why take that opportunity away from someone else? There’s plenty to go around.</p>

<p>What’s your integrity worth? $500?</p>
