<p>good point!! There was a thread that was on every ivy league forum on CC, but was thankfully quickly deleted. The poster was referring to "advice" from another site on how to get into the ivy league. I don't know if the original poster at this other site was joking or just deceitful. But lying about your ethnic origin was one of the tips. It is outrageous. Your last sentence says it all: "...the end does not justify the means."</p>
