<p>When responding to enrollment, the page says that acceptance of Stanford’s offer of admission is authorization for them to complete an application verification process. I am not sure what this means. I have a job which I dont pay taxes on (make under 1,000) and some freelance work I do for little pay. Should I gather documentation for this stuff for stanford? Or what do they want verified?</p>
<p>I want to accept but I have to make sure everything is fine first. Should I call and ask them which documents they would like so I can deal with the app verification early?</p>
<p>I think they mean verifying application material against fraud (trancripts, GPA, rec letters).</p>
<p>Oh well there is no confusion in that area, they can just contact the school for everything. So would you guys suggest that I get verification of my work (which was not taxed) now or wait to see if they request it?</p>
<p>I would suggest wait.
If they do verification, it is more likely on things highly related to your application. A small job is far down that list.</p>
<p>Any more opinions?</p>
<p>I have decided to get a letter from my employer to show my non-taxed income. Thank you all for the advice:)</p>
<p>I’m curious as to how this works. Do they really verify every detail of every applicant? That seems like it’d be an incredibly time-consuming process. Do they randomly select applicants to screen? Do they verify ECs? Or just transcripts/letters/scores? Who do they contact to verify?</p>
<p>I believe they do a check when they are suspicious about some of the stated facts in an application. Or when they are suspicious about the authenticity of the material (rec letters and so forth). </p>
<p>I would assume it’s rare though. And I really don’t think they’d do a check to find out whether an applicant paid taxes for a little summer job. They are not the IRS after all :)</p>

<p>In addition to anything suspicious they do random audits: [Stanford</a> Daily | Admission office moves forward with random audits](<a href=“http://www.stanforddaily.com/2010/10/18/admission-office-moves-forward-with-random-audits/]Stanford”>Admission office moves forward with random audits)</p>
