[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally the first step is they call the school counselor to see what they know. [/quote]

[b]What school has the bandwidth to call high school counselors[/b] to inquire about some random extracurricular in a laundry list of activities as they review applications from thousands upon thousands of applicants? [/quote]

The AOs just email to verify, and, trust me, the high schools respond fast because their reputations are on the line![/quote]

Did you know schools lie? My local school has a student newspaper which published an article about a team getting an award. The members of the team were listed. I know one of the kids on the team - he moved to a new school. The school newspaper article was changed to replace that kid’s name with another student’s name. I checked the competition website and the original kid is still listed there. So crazy and corrupt to “give” the award (so to speak) to a random kid who is also applying this year. So if a college calls/emails to ask if original kid did this competition, the school will probably say no! [/quote]
