<p>I'm kind of annoyed right now, because there is this one cunning guy at my school who is resorting to resume copying. First of all, I don't understand why he is doing it. He is already ranked high in speech and debate and is in many leadership stuff. But, he still copies whatever I do!! I'm the one who goes out there, finds out about everything, then does it. Then, he just finds out about it from me and others, and copies me!! It's REALLY REALLY ANNOYING.
For example, I found out about hospital volunteering from my upperclassmen friends freshman year, and I start doing it. A year later, he applies and is doing it. Then, I apply for the leadership board and get in. What does he do? He applies to, and gets in.
Also, I founded the Math Club this year and became president. What does he do? Found his own club and become President.
My fear is, that when college admission season comes, the admission committee will see that my opponent has all these similar ec's to mine, yet has his own ec's in debate/etc. So, his resume will look better.
The stuff that I found out about, that I worked hard to obtain, all becomes useless. Since he has the same stuff.
How can I resolve this problem? Is it a big deal? Will colleges realize that he is just resume-copying?</p>
<p>They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Not much you can do anyways. If you write about it you’d just draw attention to him and his successes.</p>
<p>Dang…well I do have multiple other accomplishments he probably is not aware of. Hopefully that, and my life situation (low-income family) will bring me up.</p>
<p>Hahaha. Maybe he wants to be you. I wouldnt be surprised if he tried to kill you and take your place…waitwut? There is nothing can do. Maybe you could pretend to join an anti-black club or some really racist group and trick him into joining it. Or maybe you could kill him before he kills you. Think ahead. Get your sword ready.</p>
<p>“For example, I found out about hospital volunteering from my upperclassmen friends freshman year, and I start doing it.”
Lol, for most things people do they find out from other people and they start doing it- this guy is just copying everything which is a little weird but sort of understandable.
“The stuff that I found out about, that I worked hard to obtain, all becomes useless. Since he has the same stuff.”
But he had to work to be on leadership board, start club, had to volunteer, he’s not just writing it down. It’s just, you had the idea first (and honestly you didn’t have it first you just had it before him).
Idk, I wouldn’t worry too much about it just because there will probably be hundreds/thousands more with pres of club hospital volunteering leadership.</p>
<p>Um…are you telling me you are doing activities JUST for college?</p>
