<p>I know...and the worst part is that he was pretty smart about what he lied about...he claims that they will never know that he lied...</p>
<p>I guess I could e-mail the admissions office, but why would they trust an anonymous source?</p>
<p>I don't know what to do about this kid...</p>
<p>I suggest pming Lax... giving some details about the kid... and let the admission's office do their own homework to figure out the credibility of his app... if someone says to be suspicious I am sure they will find ways to check his EC's</p>
<p>But then that might make me look desperate...</p>
<p>I don't know...I have to think about this...</p>
<p>Well maybe Lax has enough to go on just from this? He lives in New Jersey said he plays Varsity Tennis and was in the Pre-med club... prolly stuff I'm missing...</p>
<p>Lax you should definitely give someone in that office a heads up... I'm not desperate, but I take issue with applicants lieing to get an upper hand...</p>
<p>He has really really bad character (as shown through the lies on his application) so I guess that his essays will probably suck...hopefully that will get him rejected...</p>
<p>Also teachers know that he is a jerk, but I don't know if they actually wrote bad recommendations for him...hopefully they did...</p>
<p>Well you have to realize something. This has the potential to cast suspicion on you too. If he wrote down that he was president of a club that you are really president of, JHU has two apps sitting in front of them with 2 kids both from the same school claiming to both be president of the same club. Someone is lieing, and I would make it known early on that it's not you by outing this guy.</p>
<p>That's true....but in saying that you brought up a good point....</p>
<p>I got a recommendation from the advisor for the club that I am president of...the advisor said that in my recommendation she talked about my responsibilities as president of the club and all the work I have done...</p>
<p>She also wrote a recommendation for this other kid (the liar), and she obviously didn't write about him being president. Therefore JHU will know that he is lying...</p>
<p>PAWNED...what a NOOB...now he's screwed...</p>
<p>JHU has quotas?</p>
<p>That's a good point...I don't think they do...but nobody wants a liar to get accepted...</p>
<p>let me start by saying that this post includes my own personal thoughts and opinions, and not anything official from admissions at hopkins.</p>
<p>my first point you are probably not going to want to hear -- and that is I think you should not be concerned with other applicants and what they did or did not put in their application. each applicant is dealt with individually, and the adcoms are not concerned with what one applicant's opinion is of another applicant. focus on your own stuff and don't worry about what every else is doing.</p>
<p>second, if you do not heed my advice from above, i honestly see that you have one of two options. you can decide to contact directly the adcom at hopkins for your region and state your case. i have no clue what the reaction or follow through will be in such a circumstance -- but the phrase "tattle-tale" keeps running through my mind. </p>
<p>your other option would be to take your assumptions to your guidance counselor and ask for advice -- that is what they are there for. if it is truly a case of an applicant putting false information in their application, the only way it will truly be looked at as a credible case is if the information comes from an authority at the high school.</p>
<p>and no, JHU does not have quotas</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice laxfan...my GC wouldn't really care if I told him about this kid...he would just tell me to "focus on more important things" (which might actually be good advice)</p>
<p>I guess I'll just let it go....hopeflly the adcoms figure out that this kid is lying...</p>
<p>aww..that really stinks, avenger...well, it's good that you got your club advisor to write a rec. i really hope the adcoms can see thru that guy's lies!</p>
<p>Let's face it--lying on a college application is much more popular than you might think, at least in my school. For example, I asked for many of my peers' resumes to see my whereabouts in terms of admissions, only to find much of the ciritical informations contrived. However, I am not concerned at all--such dishonesty will get them no where in the ultimate, life.</p>
<p>My advice, who cares--let it go. =)</p>
<p>"My advice, who cares--let it go. =)"</p>
<p>Yea...that's the route I'm gonna take...he's never gonna get anywhere in life with that kind of attitude anyway....I'm not going to lose sleep over it...</p>
