I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

that was sort of implied last year when she got the text message about the verdict being in from her dad. she looked into the hall and saw Wallace and thought about the conversation they'd just had and what was important to her.

Stanford just wasn't as important as being with her friends and family and seeing the look on Aaron's face when he was convicted (or so she thought).

Yep. As Tiggy says, she blew off the thing she'd have had to have done for the money for Stanford to watch the verdict.

What is even happening?

And Hearst was planted as far back as One Angry Veronica (which, I think was the Christmastime episode). I always figured she'd go to Hearst.

"One Angry Veronica," Cindy.

That explanation doesn't work for me at all. If she didn't have the money to go to Stanford, then how'd she have the money to go to Hearst (and get a brand new car!)?

Kendall paid Keith a shitload of cash to flake out on his daughter's graduation trip.

Oh yeah, that's right. But that wouldn't be enough for her to go to Stanford? Or something?

We already know that someone on the Hearst admissions committee likes her, which means she likely got mad scholarship money. Besides, like Plei said, she decided to stay in Neptune, period, when she ditched that exam to see the verdict. It wasn't about the money anymore.

That was planted back in One Angry Veronica, as well. Remember her fellow juror was a Hearst mucky muck, who talked to Veronica after the trial was over?

Most serial dramas (other than 24), work on the premise that things happen the other 167 hours in the week. I don't really get what you don't get, Invisible Green. Personally, I'm thankful we never got an episode about Veronica filling out financial aid forms, and scrambling to get into another school, once she blew her chance with Stanford.
