[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP who posted the "cynical" comments about jobs being fakeable. It is true that most students and parents voluntarily abide by the honor code system. This is one of the great things about America. But it is also open to abuse, rather easily, by parents who know their kids have to get a job of some sort to appear less privileged and more grounded, as part of their effort to game college admission. "Wow, apart from doing this passion project and publishing that research, this kid works a REAL job for THIS long! We WANT this kid!" says a t15 AO. To say that this is not happening at a non-negligible rate among prestige-chasing parents is probably naive.[/quote] Stop. It's all open to abuse, and no one is trying to suss out whether every kid is "sincere" about her or his extra-curricular activities. They don't spend as much time looking at Larla's individual application as you think they do.[/quote]
