You are a human being, correct?</p>

That’s why you’re my hero.</p>

<p>There are 168 hours in a week…</p>
<p>^ Well, the idea was that you could be doing two activities simultaneously.</p>
<p>Oh, fair enough. That’s still stupid. Any activity important enough to matter to Harvard is too important to devote half your attention to.</p>
<p>^ Unless you’re silverturtle. But he’s too much of a man to multitask on his ECs without then dividing his total multitasked hours in half.</p>
<p>
I’m well aware both how many hours there are in a week and how ECAs are important to Harvard 
I was just having a quick quip with silver there.</p>
<p>i think they do random checks or if the interviewer sees you don’t know what your research project was about or what the firm you worked for did. </p>
<p>there’s ways for them to find out but i doubt most people who do very minimal additions get caught.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m sure the majority of people who get in with incorrect info didn’t really “falsify” information in the way we’re thinking–I bet, however, there are a lot of people who sort of embellished things (I’m Editor in Chief of the paper, not just one of many “editors,” or I tutor for like 80 min/wk but I’ll fudge it up to 2 hours–that sort of thing).</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>
