[quote=Anonymous]Two parents on this thread and one on a different thread in the past 24 hours have indicated that it's fine to lie about extracurriculars on a college applications. You people are horrible and what's worse, you're teaching your kids to be horrible too. I have no doubt that some students do lie on their applications. That doesn't mean you should encourage your child to do so. What sort of example are you setting for them? This ridiculous rat race for a narrow definition of "success" is turning people--parents and kids alike-- into despicable citizens. OP, your child is obviously a terrific, intelligent, hard-working student. He will get into multiple colleges and will succeed in life. Apply to a wide range of schools, be open-minded, and encourage your child to be himself. He will be OK and you both will feel better about his success than if he'd lied his way into his future.[/quote]
