[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yale is checking by calling college counselors. UCLA is asking for random applicants to upload pdfs of W2 or paystubs to verify jobs. They are doing a lot more verifying this year[/quote]

How can school counselor know your volunteer out of school? [/quote]

They would know if they met with the student. If it's a big public school, bring it up in the counselor meeting and in the parent brag sheet. DC is at a public and did just this - he knew what the teachers would focus on in the LOR, so for any extra things that were important, he made sure to let the counselor know. He was accepted SCEA - of course, we don't know what exactly helped his application, but do your best with every part. Good luck!

Same here, everything can be found by a quick google search. I don't know if AOs spend time googling each kid. I think some applications are just compelling, and they're familiar with the big awards, and some things just make sense in the big picture.

I also don't know why kids would lie. That seems like such a pessimistic view of this whole process. Also, anything off would probably immediately raise red flags.[/quote]
