[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's been a tough 48 hours in our house as DD deals with ED disappointment. It is made worse that her classmate who is known to cheat got in. Trying to explain that cheaters sometimes do win really stings.[/quote]

This happened to my daughter last year. Deferred by Swarthmore and a known cheater (athlete) was admitted. It’s a tough life lesson. [/quote]

Yep.

DC's class cheater got in to Stanford. If there were a Senior Superlative for "Most Likely to Be Indicted for Fraud," his classmates would choose him in a landslide.

In our family, the lesson has always been that the world includes ALL types. Every community reflects that, including selective and non-selective colleges, federal, state, and local government, admired philanthroposts and clergy, school districts, doctors etc. You name it, and there's a full range of humanity included within - the best, the worst, and everything in between.

All you can do is play your own game. Know your values and live in alignment with them. Appreciate the comfort and security that come from having nothing to hide.

Finally, as my husband's great aunt often said, "It's nice to be nice. The view from the high road is often the most beautiful."
