<p>Leave him alone and do nothing. Him getting in is not going to push you out. Besides, he may have a condition that is not immediately obvious. A kid in the class ahead of me had a heart condition and a pacemaker and people would yell at him for parking in handicapped spots with his handicapped plates. </p>
<p>Besides, even if the guy is faking, it is never good to be a snitch.</p>
<p>If he is faking, he has to have a doctor signing papers for him. It’s not that easy to fake. I would mind my business.</p>
<p>Don’t be a snitch, or you can end up with that disability, if you know what I mean…</p>
<p>This is not your battle to fight. Let the universities do their job, they have been at it for a long time. If there is something they miss, well then they will be admitting someone who will most likely have similar problems once enrolled - only now the stakes and scrutiny will be higher. Further, you run the risk of making yourself look like an ass if you wrong or don’t have all the facts.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry too much because he’ll probably get caught eventually, if the teachers aren’t on his side, he won’t get recommendations and it’ll hurt him in the end

<p>Cheating IS serious. Colleges take it seriously and so do high schools. If he is cheating, he will get caught. </p>
<p>This kind of behavior (if he is cheating/lying and receiving benefits) is abhorrent. It’s what starts in grade school (stealing lunch money), continues to High School (see Corona Del Mar and Tesoro High Cheating Scandals in CA, along with Stuyvesant cheating scandal in NY) and then continues on into adulthood (see major corporations with “smart” executives guilty of insider trading and the current Air Force Nuclear Weapons Officers who are cheating on tests!!). I would definitely report this student (anonymously) to the principal, guidance counselor and teachers (maybe type a letter) as well as deliver the same letter to the admissions office at the colleges you know this student is bragging about lying to.
It’s pretty easy to get a Doctor’s note about just about anything, especially if you have a shifty family and one of your aunts/uncles is a doctor. People do it all the time in the grown-up world, except there it’s called Insurance Fraud.
If the kid is just spouting off and not actually doing anything illegal/shady, then there will be no repercussions. If he IS doing something shady, then he’ll hopefully get caught. If he is bragging about something and it turns out he was just blowing hot air around and gets hassled by the UC system…maybe he will learn his lesson.
I would say that the main thing is to not get identified yourself because if this kid is a “standout” kid (even if he IS cheating) the administrators at your school will not likely want to admit it–and it will become a “blame the messenger” kind of issue and you’ll have a target on your back.</p>
<p>Don’t do anything. A disability will not give him a real advantage per se in the application process. Maybe in the financial aid sector he will benefit. Mind your business( I say this respectfully)</p>
<p>I would tell your high school’s guidance counselor, or a teacher you trust</p>
<p>Yes, I agree. Definitely tell your high school’s guidance counselor</p>
God I hate people like you. So called hypocrites like you are *** hurt from getting denied by UCLA and Berk, and want to make sure other people don’t make their way in there also. Smh
