<p>What if....</p>
<p>Student graduates HS in November, applies to US schools in January--but must wait until April to evaluate financial aid offers because he cannot attend without substantial aid?</p>
<p>But the academic year begins in February in his home country (southern hemisphere) and he must start his coursework--in case he doesn't get enough aid to go to US.</p>
<p>How would that be viewed? I suppose he could drop the classes to audit status in April so as not to accrue university credits....</p>
<p>Opinions?</p>
