[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This goes back a few years (pre-pandemic) but one of my kids had two liberal arts colleges call the guidance counselor to confirm parts of the application. I don't know what part(s) they asked about - but the counselor told us the schools had called to ask if information was true. I remember one of the schools was Vassar and I can't remember if the other school was Bates or Wesleyan. To be fair, my kiddo's story and extracurriculars were not run of the mill and not easily found via google. So it's not like the kid stretched three years of piano lessons into five - but I imagine the calls were the result of a curious AO and not a general policy to check applications.

Must be a private high school and elite liberal arts schools.  Our guidance counselor sent a packet for us to fill out (kid and parent) and will likely use what's in there to write their rec.  If someone calls, they'll likely go, "4 years of saving sharks from killer whales? yep, that's what the parents said. must be true!".  [/quote]
