You're Making an Application, and They're Checking it Twice

Naughty Looks like St. Nick isn't the only one double-checking things...

In a recent LA Times article, we learned that the UC's have a formalized system in place to double-check facts that kids report on their applications. Don't believe us? Check this out: UC Wants the Truth on Student Applications.

Now, when we get those questions asking, "How can they really be sure I'm telling the truth about sports and stuff on my application?," well, we have proof to back up our answer.

While this is a UC-specific program right now, look for other colleges to follow suit in the not-so-distant future. Oh, and tell the truth on your applications, for goodness sake.
