Have your son approach his classmate and politely say, "I read your resume on the website, and you appear to have mistakenly and in error listed X position as one you hold when, in fact, you and I both know that I hold X position.  I would appreciate it if you would change your mistake."

He might follow up, as guidance, "employers sometimes let people go who include such mistakes on their resumes."  She will get the message loud and clear, but your son won't be responsible for having her admissions rescinded (which he might feel guilty about in the long run).[/quote]

LOLllll get serious. Say those words out loud and imagine a 17 year old boy saying them to a classmate. He would be a mockery of the school. [/quote]

This is exactly what is expected at schools with an honor code. Sad that you think it's so ridiculous.

For those who keep saying, "Leave it alone, the girl we get hers someday," how does someday ever come if everyone takes the lackadaisical approach you are all recommending?

Who is responsible if not those who know what's going on and can approach the girl in question?[/quote]
