[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will admit that my kid struggled how to write in hours for activities because the way they ask never allowed for odd situations. Example, my kid was on a hackathon team that would practice once per week for 90 minutes and then enter 3-5 competitions that were 48 hours straight on a weekend. I can’t remember how it was handled, but the application doesn’t make it easy and you don’t want to waste characters in explaining your hours.[/quote] Still easy to calculate. The "Stanford reject" lied. Not hard to say 4 hours/week for 12 weeks. She said 12 hours/week for 32 weeks. Huge difference. She lied. Also for a hackathon team, the AO will have an idea what that involves. You do your best to calculate it. But the "SR" outright lied, why? Because it worked for getting admission. Had they not verified, it was impressive enough to get admission that's why people lie. [/quote]
