James owns a business called CollegePrep, Inc. Through his business, he helps high school students apply for college and assists them in getting in to the best colleges they desire to attend. Jackie really wants to go to Harvard. However, her grades are mediocre and she didn’t get a very good score on the ACT exam. James is familiar with the stringent requirements to get in to Harvard, and he knows Jackie has virtually no chance of being admitted with her poor grades. Nevertheless, he tells Jackie, “If you hire CollegePrep to assist you in applying for college, I guaranty we can get you into Harvard or any other school you choose.” Relying on James’s statements, Jackie pays CollegePrep their fee of $65,000 and signs their intake form to get started. CollegePrep does very little to help Jackie and, despite Jackie’s best efforts on her application, she is rejected from Harvard. Jackie asks for a refund of her $65,000 from CollegePrep, but James tells her it is Jackie’s fault she didn’t get in to Harvard and that CollegePrep has no liability. Jackie later sues CollegePrep for fraud. Can Jackie recover from CollegePrep in a lawsuit claiming the tort of fraud?
