The adcoms make mistakes all the time. They say they do.

I don’t know about “manufactured,” but Arjun of the story comes across as anything but “polished” or “sharp.” The opposite, really. Or maybe whitewashed-to-resemble-polished-from-a-distance, but fundamentally a fraud. (Or maybe, as someone suggested, a perfectly wonderful student conforming to a set of social norms which are not those of Stanford University.)
