Does it matter? Unless she has said something to make you think that this person lied on the application about minority status, what difference does it make?

I haven’t examined the detail posted above, but I’m all for people fudging their information here on-line in order to protect their privacy. And if someone does this and doesn’t keep their facts straight…well, that’s far better than having them get their facts TOO straight and reveal who they are, whether it’s to us or to an ADCOM that visits this site.

Playing loose with the facts about personal information here on CC doesn’t make me the least bit suspicious that a person may have lied on an application. I’m as concerned of that having happened as I’m concerned that you applied to BS under the name “Inquiring mind” – which is just one example of the kind of ruse we all use to protect our privacy on-line.

So, unless there’s something I’m missing about some sort of wrongdoing or foul that’s been committed…who cares?
