[quote=Anonymous]I think that there's also an issue with kids just making shit up. Even if they write the essays, if they write about how abuela taught them how to make tamales and this showed how much their Hispanic heritage meant to them when in reality their Hispanic heritage consists of counting to ten in Spanish when watching Sesame street, this is just as serious a problem. As long as every multicultural sob story is held up as the perfect example of what they're looking for, then there's going to be a temptation to do that. I know that I hear a lot of joking by kids about how if what Harvard wants is more transgender folks, then they're all going to write their essays as though they're transgendered. I'm sure that every year there's someone who makes up stuff about a childhood disease, ill parent, etc. And with 25,000 applications, it's doubtful that they would fact check any of that even if it were possible to do so.[/quote]
