[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]There's no checking on ANYTHING. Students could put anything on the app; unless a counselor or teacher rec writes something that rats them out. [/b] I'm not bitter, DS got in to some great schools and is happy with his final choice. But it is interesting that you could put most anything on the app.[/quote] +1. Clubs, awards, captain of ___, president of ___, founded ___... first-generation, bi-racial, grew up poor... none of that is verified.[/quote] I don't think it would be easy to get away with lying at many schools. At my kids' DC private, the college counselors go over the kids' Common App with them and they literally hit "submit" in the counselors office. If a kid claimed some obviously false status or achievements, the counselor would stop them in their tracks.[/quote] At my kids public, I doubt the counselors have even a vague recollection of who most kids are.
