[quote=Anonymous]I should probably stay away from this thread, but for highly selective colleges, we have had multiple AOs tell us that they spot check the activities list. Do they do it for every kid? Nope, but for the ones they may accept - absolutely. Most of the things people here seem convinced kids are lying about (even though you have not read their applications!!!) are easily verifiable, usually by a google search. They will also reach out to the HS college office if something looks strange. As for whether captain or co-captain of a varsity team means anything - that is dependent on the school - the AOs know the schools well - and most captains at our school, for example, would have a letter from their coach as an additional LOR.[/quote]
