<p>Consolation, I agree with your son. I have mentioned on CC that I know a student who applied to the ivy league schools and other "top" schools, who has boasted about misrepresenting his ethnic origin on his applications, who has been punished several times recently by the HS for academic dishonesty in various forms. The kid was waitlisted by one ivy league school and accepted to a few "top tier" schools. Lying and cheating should not be rewarded. Sooner or later this kid and others like him will have to pay the piper.</p>
