[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, what's the difference between stretching the truth on ECs and submitting a test score which represents hours of undisclosed one on one tutoring, multiple retakes and extra time in a quiet room?

In one example you put the work into it (testing prep), and in the other example you pretend you did something you didn’t. [/quote]
 Writing down ECs you never did or greatly exaggerating is akin to having someone else take the test for you. You know, cheating.

Studying for hours to take a test(s) [b]that everyone can take multiple times[/b] is the same as putting in the work in a time intensive ECs that build upon each other and then writing down the highest level attained(without exaggerating).[/quote] Ah the privilege![/quote]
It costs about 40 dollars and is also offered multiple times at public school. That is less than most lower income people spend on cable or Starbucks for a few drinks per month.  And yea you can study for years if you want to with the free resources online. Ah!![/quote]

Tell me you don't know any lower income people without telling me you don't know any lower income people.

Lower income people (the majority of my extended family as well as my husband's) spend $0/month on cable and Starbucks.[/quote]
