First, it is questionable whether AMCAS or any other group could verify enrollment in the first place. There are more than 3000 institutions in the US. You are assuming that in the future, all these systems will be linked which is extremely doubtful given issues of security and the autonomy of universities. The Ivy League, for instance, has no intention of ever allowing their records to be tapped by anyone else. A perfect example of this was when Princeton tapped into Yale's admission system illegally and therefore Princeton was investigated by the FBI. Princeton used social security numbers and names of cross applicants to simply check the status of their applications at Yale. After the FBI investigated, Princeton lost federal funding and Hargadon was "retired". While this is different from issues of enrollment, it is highly unlikely there will be a single system in which everyone's enrollment is listed, largely due to issues of cost and security. Second, even if there were, this system would be predicated on the idea that the student used his/her social security number at every school at which he registered. There are dozens and hundres of people with the same last name...Third, you are assuming every student applies for financial aid. This particular girl is rich and never applied for financial aid. Fourth, again, you are assuming they have access to financial aid reports without your permission. Fifth, someone could "rat you out"? How would someone know? And if they did, how would they enforce that testimony? Your logic on that doesn't make sense. Sixth, a lot of these hypotheticals would require litigation for disclosure, particularly if the student fought it, and to litigate on every case in which a girl failed to disclose organic would not be too practical.
