UBC Dean of Admissions Interviewed - Interesting for apps

[cbaldwin]

Yspeuten,

I couldn't have said it better myself - except that I would have ended by saying I'm so glad that I went to U of T! But whatev!

Hope to meet you at Medgames and OMSW!

"How does the resume padding radar pick up that someone started a club just to be president? Surely this person didn't indicate that on their application."

 

"I find it surprising that UBC would ... ASSUME that somebody started a club just to President - maybe they started an organization that was needed at a university, like a food drive program perhaps?"

 

From reading the article, I got the impression that they picked up on this because they called or e-mailed the verifier that the applicant provided.

Have an awesome time at med games! When I was at Queen's for a few days, I was told all about 'em - seemed like an incredible deal

 

Why don't we have something like that on the West coast *sigh*
