[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there any reason to believe that applicants across the board don’t lie to the same extent? Any reason to think Rich, upper middle class, middle class and lower financial class lie to a greater or lesser degree? About activities, personal history?  I don’t doubt at all that there are scammers applying to colleges, but I don’t have any reason to think scamming is reserved to a particular economic group. his[/quote]

It's almost entirely rich kid scammers with pushy Type A managerial class parents. They went to a striver high school, their parents know the game and teach their kids to lie and play all the angles. Poor first-generation minority kids are generally passive, not elbowy, they're embarrassed about being low class, and don't know how to scam the system. Rich kids are also better writers, so they excel in whipping up creative essays full of lies which push all the trendy themes. Same for public speaking ability. Plus perfect teeth, nice hair, and lots of confident. That is pure rich kid scammer. Genuine lower class kids are not like that first semester of college, which is why this Brown freshman was immediately able to identify all of these crooks.[/quote]
