Several years ago, my parents allowed my cousin from Canada who was in the States illegally to use my social to teach tennis at a local community college. He needed an SSN to get paid. We we born on the same day and have somewhat similar names. He taught tennis for a semester, got paid and went back to Canada.
Unknown to me, he entered the US again the next year, enrolled at the same community college this time as a student using my social. He took a year's worth of classes before he went back to Canada.
When I heard of the National Student Clearing House, it got me worried. Because medical schools check for enrollment with the National Student Clearing House. They will show me as having enrolled at a community college when I was 19 and getting 30 credits with a 2.1 GPA. But this is not me - this is my cousin who used my social.
Medical schools are very wary of making an offer to anyone with an iffy background. What do I do about this mess now without getting my family into trouble?
