“Corruption has become a lifestyle in today’s China” so says journalist Sun Xupei as quoted in Saturday’s International Herald Tribune (April 7 2012). My understanding is that applications from China to UVA surged this year by 10%. From reading various articles in the IHT regarding alleged falsified information and test taking among Chinese students, I am left to wonder… How can one trust any application from China??

This does not only apply to UVA but other top notch Universities. In an effort to diversify, are these colleges/institutions putting themselves at risk? And what about those who are left behind? China may have resources/money, but are these applicants going to add to the University - especially when their application may not be what it says it is?

Just a thought…
