I mean, what happens if they get applicants who say "what happened to that Nicole girl that was on the billboard?" "Oh, umm, she ended up going to Haverford." "You made a BILLBOARD for her and pursued her to those lengths and she didn't come here? God, this place must suck."

Clarion pursued me to a degree, but if they'd done something like this, I would have run in the other direction.
Well, they would have asked you first, so it probably wouldn't have gone down like that.

I think as long as they were real applicants, it's not a bait and switch. I think the ads made clear that the students hadn't enrolled yet.
