[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About their race. Put down Native American and mexican. Got into an Ivy. Apparently DC has known for a while. I am not shocked as i know many kids probably lie but this just shows how rigged the system itself is. The entire school was surprised that this kid got in ED and now we know. Wow! I am guessing thats how colleges achieve their diversity goal.. admitting fake native Americans and hispanics.

The frustrating thing about these situations is the colleges could very easily write a disclaimer or something that would effectively discourage 99% of any of this nonsense.

Just a footnote that reads something like we will randomly sample students to verify information like race, and if we find out you lied we will report you to your school, your counselors, etc. and all your college applications will be crushed. Make it punitive enough and enough of a risk that people just don't do it...even if in fact they don't actually randomly sample people.[/quote]
