So, someone offered a full scholarship for Harvard on craigslist? Damn, too bad I missed it :)

It's not just a full scholarship, but a full scholarship plus a salary!

plus extortion fees to not drop out after your face is squarely associated with the name amongst the schools staff. also, i think an NDA in this scenario is moot.

Depends, do you value the degree more or the education?

There is also the networking, the impersonator will be the one making friends at harvard. After that he only needs to say that he dropped out and doesn't have the tittle, but the conections are there.

What was this kid so afraid of?

“I can answer the question, if you want me to.” Harris said. “The median grade in Harvard College is indeed an A-. The most frequently awarded grade in Harvard College is actually a straight A.”

Could be worse:

Police catches thief with stolen ID. He goes through trial and 2 years prison under stolen identity. After release he disappears without a trace.

Original guy finds out after couple of years he has criminal record. It took him 5 years to clear it out.
