Is this really fair?

Applying to College
1

<p>Okay there’s this person at my school who faked practically her entire application (wrote her own letter of recs, made up her extracurriulars, wrote fake essays, added officer positions for nonexistence clubs, ect) and got into Caltech. I cannot trust the college system anymore. </p>

<p>Yes, that person is a minority and has good grades but i feel as if there are candidates not of minority at my shcool who deserve to go to top-tier schools like caltech.
I’m not applying there but I feel so sorry for people who deserve to go to these kinds of college and don’t get in.</p>

<p>The answer to your question is no. College admissions are not fair, its as simple as that.</p>

<p>Watch her drop out of Caltech after her first midterm… or better yet, succumb to the academic pressure and hang herself.</p>

<p>I once had a boss who was a liar, was eventually let go for lying, was let go from every job he ever had. It will probably catch up.</p>

<p>LOL at the princess bride quote
@Seahawks506
There was only one person who got into caltech last year and it was my senior friend who was an actual genius (a REAL person).</p>

If she goes to tech, her insecurities will surface and she will probably violate the Honor Code.
Her cheating days are over…</p>

<p>The one consolation in watching the ethically challenged succeed, is the certain knowledge that what they do unto others will be done to them. You can’t have personal relationships based on trust and integrity and goodwill - and then go to work and be a scumbag. The ‘chinese wall’ just doesn’t hold up forever. Eventually the skuzzy behavior leaks through and contaminates everything in their lives. So, she may not get discovered at Caltech, but this kind of behavior will come back to bite her eventually.</p>

<p>And by the way, this has nothing whatsoever to do with being a minority or not. What does her behavior have to do with her race?</p>
