This led to “under lending” in most cases. Plus, it took longer so some applications were never interpreted. That led to more under lending. A credit score isn’t complete but it has made more lives better and right or wrong…credit scores are a reality.

It seems that the best hope for many colleges and universities will be in determining how to best create "value-added" situations. Collaborations across traditional university and college boundaries - and the creation of actual linkages will not only be value-added for parents and students - but will have the added value of educating the rest of the community about how each of us plays a role in the overall "development" of our students.
