Is this intent to enroll legally binding?

Post by Dellas623 » Fri Mar 21, 2014 9:34 am

On the scholarship acceptance form for NU, it says next to a check box,

"I do not intend to enroll at Northwestern Law and withdraw my application."

Although it does not say one like NYU where it require you to withdraw all other acceptances,

since the enrollment at NU cannot be withdrawn, is it practically same as binding enrollment?

Thanks.

No one has responded because your question is not clear. Please explain your situation a little more, or be more precise in your language. Do you want to accept the scholarship? The check box you quote says that you do not want to enroll and that you do want to withdraw.

Ah, I see my big mistake here. I assumed since I am accepting scholarship, they would make me agree a binding enrollment. So I unconsciously read that as "I intent to enroll" and "not withdraw" application.

Thank you for pointing it out.

No problem. I hope we're in the same Contracts class. :wink:
