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.
Zoe: We're getting him back. Jayne: What are we gonna do, clone him?

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.

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.

It's not that I wanted to see Veronica filling out financial aids forms; I just think an explanation was necessary. One or two lines to quickly explain everything would have been adequate. It shouldn't be up to the fans to make up what happens [unless the show's canceled on a cliffhanger]; it's the writers' job to decide the story. Veronica Mars is a TV show, not a hypertext novel. I don't have a problem with fanwank, but I do think it shouldn't be necessary to use it for important plot points, like telling us what school Veronica attends.
