<p>Sarum…I’m comforted by your citation of a Sean Hannity YouTube piece on Obama. It’s good to know you rely on fair and balanced reporting…</p>
<p>I read and rely on everything and anything I can get my hands on:)</p>
<p>The inmates are running the asylum:

<p>Wow this thread needs to either count slowly to 10, or take some serious medications. Indivividualy I have gotten to know several of you, but you are not playing well together. Politics is a poisonous discussion (and I have a multi generational involvement).</p>
<p>Helpme13: If they do not catch him in the admissions process (which they might), it will show up in boarding school. The environment is pretty close and the type of individual you describe will eventually get caught up in his lies. So he might get admitted (I doubt it), but I’ll bet he won’t graduate.</p>
<p>Politics is poisonous. Then again so is pot. Both give us a sense of happiness, eh? </p>
<p>Any updates on what he will do? To be honest his lies aren’t anything big. Adding six or seven years of sports collectively doesn’t make much of a difference, unless he can get recruited for it. Years show consistency, not commitment. He could be an uncommitted athlete who shows up each year, it doesn’t matter. However, it may help him a tad in a holistic sense. </p>
<p>Regardless, lying is lying. When people do it so they can get ahead because they are too little or too weak to do it themselves it slaps them right in the face. Anyway? Who the hell runs track for eight years and runs a nine minute mile? or does MUN for six years and forgot the five permanent security council members? or tutors AP Calculus but has a B in Algebra II. It will catch up, and bite him in the ass… and the bite will be harder and harder as time goes on. </p>
<p>Chances are, though, unless his coach does something about him he won’t get caught in any decisive sense. ****es people off though.</p>
<p>PrincipalV I am curious to know how you know pot makes people happy…</p>
<p>The general desire to smoke it…?</p>
<p>A kid got kicked from Exeter a year ago because they found out…</p>
<p>Truths:
-He most likely won’t get caught
-He has just as good of a chance if he did cheat or didn’t cheat at succeeding past BS applications(With his moral fiber being the same in either case; Cheating= getting into the school of his dreams which off sets other things)
-He wouldn’t be the first
-He won’t be the last
-He is taking a logical risk</p>
<p>Lies:
-He’ll regret it to the point where he can’t live with himself or something ridiculous along those lines…</p>
<p>I wouldn’t want you PrincipalV, to room with my S at BS either.</p>
<p>no fear of that Sarum, ppv is only ■■■■■■■■ for BS, not actually going to be attending one. To the OP – coaches do care and WILL contact the teams that a student is representing he is on, if they are going to push for that kid to attend the school. They will know to push by talking to the kid, and then talking to that kids present coach. Lying that you are on a travel team when you are not will not help if you will not use the travel team as a hook of getting in. And you wont get in if coach speaks to the other coach, etc. Adding an extra year to an EC is dishonest, but makes zero difference since most schools dont really care about your ECs (unless you are performing in the Nutcracker at Lincoln Center, won a Mother Theresa award, etc). On the other hand — adcoms check this website so this thread is potentially a giveaway, and if not, dont you think that a competitive parent reading this wont bring it to the attention of the adcom of PA and PEA?</p>
<p>if this kid makes it through the interview, he wont get caught. also, nobody’s gonna kick him out for it. goodness gracious. i hate it how everybody on this site tries to act like they’re angels. welcome to the real world. people lie all the time. they do not feel bad about it. they get away with it. they achieve they’re goals</p>
