Allen School's response is honest and truthful in the fact that all of the financial aid issues that this applicant alludes to were created by the applicant herself. She was not truthful with our financial aid department regarding her past history at another institution. Allen School did due diligence and found that the student had issues at another institution that were not mentioned by the applicant. As a result, the financial aid process had to start again from scratch. The applicant should be blaming herself for not being honest, not our institution. To clarify, the student loan that she defaulted on was at another institution, not Allen School. It was from an institution that the student had attended previously. She cannot blame our institution for her damaged credit score based upon her inability to follow up on a loan with another institution. By the way, if she was trained properly by that other institution, she would have a job which would enable her to pay back her loan and not be looking to attend our institution. No financial aid was ever taken at our institution by this applicant.
