[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would they check this AFTER accepting her? That doesn't make sense[/quote]

Sometimes friends who learn of a classmates acceptances make anonymous calls to report such falsifications.[/quote]

I genuinely hope this post is as fake as the OP's.[/quote]

Honestly, I don't really blame the kids for wanting to report the kids who everyone knows just blatantly lied.  So many kids work so hard and are honest, it is really aggravating to see the cheaters prosper.[/quote]

First of all, how would they "know"?  How many applications have you seen other than your own kids?

Second of all, you damned well SHOULD blame them.  It's not their job, especially since they are just speculating.  It's bitter, destructive, and for those that believe in karma, destined to come back to them x10.  While I have no evidence, I doubt such behavior influences adcoms much, especially from anonymous teenagers.

I am not defending lies, or even embellishment, but anyone who has done this - it is DISGRACEFUL.

I don't see how this is a bad thing. Liars should not get away with their tricks. The application process sucks because of how much we allow cheaters to say whatever they want.[/quote]

As I and another PP above noted:

YOU HAVE NO IDEA IF THEY LIED and doing that to someone else is SH*TTY.[/quote]
