[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We'll see what happens when they are ready to apply to college. The benefits of checking a URM box are huge for admission. And colleges don't chase down admitted to students to confirm racial background. They don't really care as long as they can report that they have a certain percentage of different demographics. [/quote] What you just typed is incorrect. Adcoms do care, and they have ways of knowing and experience. Guidance counselors communicate also. I am not saying no one ever successfully cheats, but it is somewhere between uncommon and extremely rare. Also, the admitted kids eventually get to the campus and meet people you know. Like the admissions officers that admitted them. They’ll bounce a kid caught lying about this in a heartbeat.[/quote]
