[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Almost all private colleges do audits and spot checks of a random sample of students.

Not sure about public universities.[/quote]

Yes, my kid's T10 definitely does this. I saw a reddit post by a kid that was audited and was having trouble verifying club participation. [/quote]

+1 For every parent that is concerned about where their frenemy's kid is attending, there are probably at least a few people being checked up upon by the school.  It is a thing. [/quote]

They have 5 min to read the app, when are they verifying/checking? I know an AO at a T10, this is not a thing there. They use the LOR to provide support/verification….[/quote]

AO's are not doing any checking. This is a separate process where a random set of students are picked and then a sample subset of the activities on each of the students are verified. Yes, it is a small sample but there are checks in place.

One of my colleague's from a while back had done work on this and he used to share some really funny stories.   [/quote]

I am a college counselor. A highly selective absolutely verified one of my student's achievements this year during their review process. Possibly unrelated (or possibly related in that they only take the time to verify for some students?), but this student was admitted.[/quote]

How exactly was this done? You’re saying an AO reached out to you in an unsolicited manner, to verify a student’s statements.[/quote]
