Sleepers of the world unite
Getting into college, especially certain colleges, can be
competitive. This we all know, including our high schoolers.
That’s why it’s not a bad idea that the University of California
system is going to randomly check admission applications to make sure
that honesty is everyone’s best policy.
Here are a couple tips for the UC fact checkers:
* If a prospective student boasts to have a 7.0, you may want to
second-guess it. They more than likely think you’re asking what
America Online program they’re using. In that case, you may want to
reject them. They’re not smart to read directions.
* This may not necessarily be a lie, but if a would-be college
learner looks forward to double-majoring in underwater basket weaving
and sleeping, question their aspirations. They may not show up to too
many classes. Of course, they still may be worth accepting since
they’ll shell out tuition while leaving an empty desk for another
student. That’s just smart planning.
Well, there you have it. Now you’ve dissuaded lying, which will
help the students become better people in the long run. And who
knows? Maybe some professional sleepers will make this world a better
place.
