DC’s friend lied on their college app

[Anonymous]

About their race. Put down Native American and mexican. Got into an Ivy. Apparently DC has known for a while. I am not shocked as i know many kids probably lie but this just shows how rigged the system itself is. The entire school was surprised that this kid got in ED and now we know. Wow! I am guessing thats how colleges achieve their diversity goal.. admitting fake native Americans and hispanics.

Maybe they took a 23 and me?

You don't know diddly squat about the kid's race, and you also don't know that his race had anything to do with his admission to college.

Worry about your own kid, not somebody else's, and tell your own kid to do the same.

This is not the first unethical/immoral person that your child will encounter in the world. It is a teachable moment.

Who should feel more proud, you child or that kid? Who is more impressive? Have the conversation.

You really don't know that right? If someone is 1/16, how would you know?

Did they withdraw all their other applications, or is this the same cheat being talked about in the other thread.

Both of those are so loosely defined that most people who wanted to check them probably could.

Most Mexicans are a mix of Native American (from the Americas, not just North America) and white and other races.

You ignorant. 95% of Mexicans have at least 20% Native American DNA

Mexico is in North America.

Is "Mexican" really a box you can check off for that question?

Can’t believe everyone is defending the kid who lied. I guess cheaters will defend other cheaters
