And why take this process seriously at all, when objective criteria are at the out window and everyone is telling absurd stories just to attend a Bucknell safety school in one of the worst urban dumps in America?

they couldn't detect a scammer using a hotel as an address

Lots of people have hotels as their actual address. It is not uncommon for a hotel in a small town to be owned by a family who lives in the hotel. In other cases, motels are franchises and the franchisee and his/her family operate the motel and live in it. (This is quite common for Indian-Americans.)

As a child, Ron Brown, the deceased former Secretary of Commerce, lived in a hotel in Harlem which his father managed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Brown

All I am saying is that the fact she listed a hotel as her home address isn't something that screams fraud.

That was SIXTY YEARS AGO.

Will someone explain how she had transcripts and LORs sent to the school with her application? It doesn't make any sense.

when you find the mistake, fix the mistake.

Who's the regional rep for the Dakotas? There just aren't that many apps from there to not be personally besties with the Dakota applicants by the time they matriculate.

They take the ACT. There isn't any data on ACT scores at my kid's DMV school because everyone takes the SAT.

As a PP mentioned, this is less about fraud and more about prostitution.
