- wat10000 1y agoIt's a valuable lesson.
- qingcharles 1y agoThey need to spend more time on the "not getting caught" chapter, I guess.
- ryandrake 1y agoUnfortunately, it's an arms race of cheating. Everyone else was the president of 5 school clubs, volunteered at a soup kitchen and animal shelter for 2 years, tutored disadvantaged kids for 4 hours a day, was a varsity athlete in 3 sports, played the trombone in band, and won 10 academic awards... so everyone has to say that in order to at least seem like an average candidate to college admissions.

Done a bunch of stuff, since then, but it's not right to throw onto LinkedIn. It's the kind of stuff we don't take credit for.
