[quote=Anonymous]Look - this was a straight up lie: "For that specific activity [childcare for special needs children], she had put that she had been working there 12 hours a week for 32 weeks per year. When Stanford contacted the daycare, they learned that the student was only a summer volunteer and did 12 weeks a year for 4 hours at a time. Once Stanford learned about the lie, they immediately revoked her application." This is the difference between a Summer job where you don't have other responsibilities and working 10-15 hours a week during school year when you do - they are significantly different skillsets requiring an ability to manage time while still being able to focus on schoolwork. Presumably she has stellar grades - and getting those grades while ALSO working 10-15 hours a week is quite a feat for a high schooler - but she DIDN"T do that - she lied about it. Not only does it show her lack of honesty, is seriously downgrades the quality of her application.[/quote]
