Answers to concerns about the admissions procedure, financial aid, and college search by College Confidential's resident Dean!
In the bad-ideas Olympics, this gambit wins a gold medal. Aside from the ton of lousy karma that your buddy" would invite with a stunt like this, the chances of getting caught are huge.
The college admission process has great deals of balances and checks." College admission officers often interact directly with high school guidance counselors throughout the course of the application cycle and for diverse reasons. (At global schools, where there may not be formal college therapists, this communication would be with other administrators.) Even an innocent query by unwary admission folks (Can you describe what the Integrated Mathematics class covers?") could end up exposing the deception.
When a college has actually gotten several applications from a high school (whether in the very same year or over a number of years), wise admission authorities are likely to pick up on small disparities (the delivery of info is irregular, the school stationery" looks odd, the recommendations use language that is not normal of professionals or instructors, and so on). And if your pal comes from a country where admissions unfaithful is understood to be rampant, you can anticipate his entire application (together with test scores) to be inspected especially thoroughly.
Even if your buddy does handle to slip his incorrect qualifications past the admissions gatekeepers and get himself accepted by a top-choice college (and this does often happen), he is still going to be on very thin ice. If his tactic emerges at ANY time...before he enrolls, while he is an undergraduate, and for the rest of his life afterwards...his acceptance will be withdrawed or he would be removed or any degree he got would be rescinded. Your friend may even be charged with a crime (the falsification of files) and, if still in the, deported. And, as the years pass, the chances of this happening will enhance instead of diminish. If you are genuinely a buddy" and not the potential criminal yourself, then you currently know about this scheme. One needs to wonder how many others understand too...or will find out in the future. That number is likely to climb. And, eventually, somebody who knows will blow the whistle, either from a sense of honor or for more self-centered factors (, to contend for an area at a university or, later on, for an internship, job, or fellowship ).
So if you are genuinely a friend to this pal," please hinder him from this foolish course. Rather, encourage him to discover colleges where he is likely to be accepted due to the fact that of his legitimate credentials. He's far much better off ending up at a college that isn't high up on his list than he is winding up in hot water...or perhaps in prison.
