So I've still got that new-member smell and I've got an idea.

Rizzo, a slightly OCD artist fresh out of high school, doesn't know where to go. All the colleges she wants to go to are too expensive, too far away, or too prestigious to accept her.
But there's a small sliver of hope! Her private-school graduate twin brother just got a letter from a near by art institute that is willing to accept him! He isn't interested in the least; but his sister sure is. When Rizzo sees that her brother is going off around the country and wasting a perfectly good chance, she jumps at it. All it'll take is a few lies...

Somethings I want to know- Would an art institute even extend a random invitation, even to someone who has artistic ability and goes to a private school?
Could someone get away with that, even for a small amount of time? If not, I might end up letting it happen anyway... without that, my idea would be squashed before it got a chance. I just want to know.
If you read this on the back of a book, would you read it?

Also, I'd love opinions!

Thanks ya muchly.
