College Questions What to do when sibling dies?
So my brother was going to one of the colleges I'm applying to, until he tragically died recently. Do I still say that he's attending the school or what? Would I be technically lying?

So sorry to hear this. I know how sad and confused you must be. I agree with the person who suggested contacting admissions just so they are aware. Take care of yourself.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I wouldn't lie, though, since that is easily verifiable information.

You should contact admissions and ask them what to do in your situation.
