Does Harvard actually verify ECs?

<p>risingsakura, i’m international. all the classes i take are mandatory</p>

<p>do all international students have to take all these AP’s??(I’m sorry to sound ignorant…)</p>

<p>nope, don’t think so, but in my school (in Romania) everybody has to take them</p>

<p>where does one draw the line between : lying, and tooting your own horn?
and also, how can you say I’ve been doing say first aid club for 3 years because I thought about it for the first two years and ACTUALLY did it the third year? Is that the way people think or is that just NOT NORMAL … because if everyone is filling in their apps that way, I promise you … I see a change in the admissions game in the very near future</p>

<p>So you’re taking 30 APs per year? In essence, you’re covering every science, history, language, and other miscellaneous topic all over the course of this year?</p>

<p>person above^,</p>

<p>i started the club and have been doing very productive activities in it. i was just saying that i didn’t start it at the beginning of the semester. people check 12 for swimming/any spring sport all the time.</p>

<p>obviously, 15 AP/semester=15APs/year…most AP’s are year-long…or maybe not…i dunno.</p>

<p>question r.sakura / anyone : if you check lets say 9th, 10th,11th,12th for say swimming and you only did it 9th, 10th 11th: won’t they ask you .your coach for some times or something or is that only if you apply to become a recriuted athlete? … if you don’t apply as a recriut then do thry just look at ie as any other activity ie. awards and such and your times aren’t that important to them</p>

<p>i have been doing sports every year(sometimes fall, sometimes spring) but i never even listed them under my EC’s… I just did for fun, not for college or anything. but mostly it was because i never excelled in them…</p>

<p>I just don’t know since when did I make myself the person of “questionable integrity”.</p>

<p>no no no you got me figured out wrong man lol :slight_smile: … sorry if it seemed that way… I just asked because you posted somthing which I had heard of before but I was like “yah right”. I’m real sorry if you think I was “questioning your integrity” - I’m no judge and whatever other people do is none of my business - heck whatever floats your boat</p>

<p>say that robotics club starts second semester(no i’m not in it), how is it wrong to check off 12th grade? It’s not…</p>

<p>sigh ----- are you asking me or eveyone?</p>

<p>So basically you’re picking over one semester???</p>

<p>“I’m no judge”</p>
