RR: How do you think he did it?

JAL: I have wondered that exact thing! I have no idea—as an outsider, you wonder the extent to which people actually look into applications.

JAL: Well, I don’t think that it is a rampant problem in general. I would say that embellishment happens at the same frequency at all schools.

RR: What do you think should be his penalty?

JAL: Restitution and definitely community service. Maybe a little jail time.

RR: What do you think of the Adam Wheeler story?

SR: Sucks to be him.

RR: How do you think he did it?

SR: He got lucky.

RR: Do you think it happens frequently at Harvard that people lie on their resumes?

SR: I wouldn’t say [this happens] frequently. The Admissions office was not careful enough.
