[quote=Anonymous]There was just an article about how admissions committees spend less than four minutes looking at your application: https://www.chronicle.com/article/Reading-an-Application-in/242418 Do you really think that in that limited time they can tell who is making stuff up, lying about their ethnicity, listing clubs that don't exist, awards that don't exist, etc.? Of course not! I've often wondered how they actually figure out if you're lying about being a first generation college student. My daughter says all the kids that are first generation college goers have done very well in admissions this year. And given the liberal bias at universities, I think you could probably say that your parents were in the military and the adcomm would assume that meant enlisted and uneducated, since that seems to be their prevailing assumption, even if both your parents were Ivy League educated officers.[/quote]
