Don't always think that people from China and that part of the world always make up stories to get into business schools.
I live in Asia and I am very familar with China and know many people who live there. While not every single one of them lie in apps, I can confidently say that the majority of them do. AdComs agree with me.
It's like saying, not every single person in China buys pirated dvds. Yeah but 99.9% does.
ditto!
I am not pointing fingers to anyone or any particular group of people.
But people in most part of Asia (including Korean, China ,and India but excluding Japan) are very well known for cheating on ETS/GMAC/other exams and lying, or one can say exaggerating, on the apps. Southern Asian parts are even worse!... Indonesia is a good example!
It is like a cultural thing. I am not trying to defend this but many folks who do these kind dishonoring things don't even feel guilty when they cheat. Cheating has been a part of their way of lives. I noticed that they have different views on what we call "cheating"
But I am hopeful that people will change as time goes by.
i hope i didn't offend any asians here.
I think it is very difficult not to take offense to such general un-substantiated statements.

what is the rationale behind this assertion? If it is so very well known that asians cheat on standardized tests, then why aren't they caught? I think it is ridiculous and surprising that people who are matriculating to solid b-schools and are potential business leaders, make such irresponsible comments. Of course, like you, I also dont mean any offense.
