[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS working on finalizing top 10 EC/activities it in the (50/100/150 characters format) and then top 5 awards….

DS hearing his friends (private school) talking about a LOT of embellishment…with the EC (unique non-school) and one off awards.

How common is this? Isn’t someone checking?[/quote]

[b]Unique ECs and awards are not embellishment.They are just unique. "Embellishment" is usually a way people like to gloss over lying. Don't lie[/b].[/quote]

Exactly!  Only rich people are allowed to lie..err. embellish..err.. do 'unique' activities and get 'unique' awards.  Plebes shouldn't follow their example!  :lol:  :lol:

There are prep schools around here for AAP where kids as young as KG attend weekly classes, participate in "unique" activities and get awards.  Parents include those awards in their statement that accompanies the application packet.  What PP is describing are just somewhat grown up, private school versions of the same thing.  Make sh*t up, just make sure the hours tally.

The best way to get rid of nonsense (e.g. ECs) is to make them meaningless by cheating.  Same goes for essays.  Use ChatGPT or other AI to write the essays.  If all essays are done well, they stop becoming a differentiator that only rich people with access to paid professionals have access to.  Tear down those walls![/quote]
