From your other threads it looks like you’re helping your brother with his applications, so your family does seem to have a personal interest in the other student. Is he applying to some of the same schools as your brother? I don’t know if colleges will take allegations made by the family of another applicant seriously. I don’t believe they’ll consider anonymous allegations at all. The best you can do is help your brother put together the best app he can.
Since your family needs aid for your brother to attend a US school and the money you can pay isn’t in your parents’ accounts but is only promised from an uncle, it’s going to be a challenge for your brother to get accepted to a US college. That doesn’t have anything to do with the other student. Colleges don’t have a lot of money to give, and there are many more applicants than there are seats, especially for international students. I’d forget about the other student and focus on your family.
The college in the intersection is Columbia, but even my brother applied there without aid( my uncle is alumni of Columbia, so he already set up an account for both of us if we gain admission to Columbia, we don’t need any kind of aid). And he is already in UChicago(applied EA without aid, look back to Columbia, if anyone is interested in his stats or essays you are welcome to ask) but he really wants LACs(for which we need aid). So there is nothing to do with my brother and him. And I have written it already, I want the boy to get into college as a transfer because he is an extremely good candidate, but the fact that he lies about currently studying at college is just not right.
I don’t understand why people try to make it personal, not everyone cares about competition, then I would report every other student who is applying. People, try to not see any “personal hint” in others. I will still report him, and no, not anonymously with one of his current college professors. Then lets colleges decide if they want to keep him or not.
Justice for all.
yes, you’d have to be willing to use your name, anonymous denunciation won’t do. And if your brother is an applicant also, you would be seen as judge and party - it’s different from if you are a third party.
Anyway, any odds of admissions are low for both.
If he’s very very rich (like if he’s the son of a cabinet minister or royalty) he wouldn’t be in the same “pool” as the group your brother is in.
I am not sure if they are at different applicants pools because I don’t know what exactly his parents are doing, but my brother is double-citizen(not US), so I have no idea in which applicant pool he is.
There will be also not anononymous third party.
I think what MYOS1634 is saying is that because your brother is also applying this year, you have a vested interest in the outcome. You’re not an innocent, uninvolved bystander.
One issue that you have not discussed in all of this, and that could be worth taking to your “friend” is his utter lack of respect for his current university. By deliberately leaving it out of his application materials, he is clearly indicating that he thinks it is not a true university. He is stating that the faculty are not competent at the level one expects of university instructors, and that any coursework (and hence any degree) from that institution is not of a level that is expected of university coursework (and degrees). If that is the sort of thing that he truly believes in his heart, well then why did he accept admission there and start a degree program? Or, has he messed up so badly where he is now that he doesn’t want anyone to know about it?
Yes, admission is tougher for international students, and yes it is tougher for transfers, so yes it is even tougher for international transfers. However if this “friend” has the kind of connections you claim, and is full pay, and has the profile you describe, applying as a transfer would not interfere overly much with his admissions prospects. Setting his current institution against himself in the way he is as present, and risking being kicked out (or even having his fancy US degree rescinded after graduation), really truly is not the way to go.
Transfer applications aren’t due until March at a lot of places. He has time to correct his situation. Be a friend, and pass that news on.
Won’t anyone notice he retook SAT in gap year after graduation? I thought most schools won’t accept any test scores after graduation from high school.
@austinmshauri I already described the situation of my brother(so read above).
@happymomof1 That is exactly what I am thinking about(his current college is quite reputable actually) but he is just ignoring this school.
@CopperlineX2 no, it is not a problem, most people improve their scores during a gap year
Sounds to me like this dude needs to find new friends.
