Founder and CEO of CollegeBudget.com allows world to vote on whether he attends Harvard Business School or remains at CollegeBudget.com.
LOS ANGELES, August 8, 2011 — Mike Moradian, the founder and CEO of CollegeBudget.com is faced with an incredibly difficult decision - whether to attend Harvard Business School, a top-ranked MBA program at one the most prestigious universities in the world, or forge ahead with his newly launched startup, which seeks to revolutionize student discounts and finances. “They are both opportunities of a lifetime, but in order to make an impact, I can really only choose one” says Moradian, who was ranked America’s Best Young Entrepreneur in 2010 by Bloomberg Businessweek. In a totally unprecedented move, Mike has opened up his decision to attend Harvard to public vote at ShouldIgotoHarvard.com.
Over 20,000 people have cast their votes since the poll opened up last week to users of CollegeBudget. Today, the poll opens up to all members of the public. “I’m taking this very seriously” says Moradian.
“The rising cost of tuition and the growing inaccessibility of affordable education for the average student is one the most pressing issues facing Americans. Although, I alone can’t address all of the problems surrounding the rising cost of higher education, innovation is desperately needed and my hope is that we can at least help reduce some of the costs for students while also developing a viable business that prospers by helping people.”
Over 100 companies have already signed up to give limited time students discounts of 50% off or more. BookRenter.com, a textbook rental service, is currently offering 60% off the cost of Textbook Rentals through CollegeBudget only. This deal is available on CollegeBudget from Monday, August 8th through Friday, August 12th.
Moradian explains, “I’m willing to walk away from what could be a once in a lifetime educational opportunity, but only if I feel that other people share my vision for CollegeBudget and see the value in what we can do for college students. The choice is yours America, choose wisely.”

CampusBuddy is in violation of its privacy policy. Therefore, I think you should fix your business first before going to college again.
As it has come to my knowledge some users have already been looking for alternative means of dealing with this problem through FBI's Cyber Crime Division, the Trade Commission and DOJ.
If those agencies get involved this will not remain quiet. Once it goes loud, see how this will affect your college application and your perspective as a businessman.
