Hi

People are creating fake extra curricular activities to boost their profile. i have no intention to do so because i have decent ones. but i believe there should not be too much weightage given to this unless someone has really done something spectacular worth mentioning...otherwise people will say anything to get in...


JHR2021

I would just like to add that genuine (read truthful) and smart applicants will know how to substantiate their real extracurricular achievements. And it would not be an exaggeration to say that adcoms and interviewers are pretty adept at differentiating facts from lies.

ECs are usually not the reasons why applicants may get accepted or rejected at a target school. The ultimate decision is based on a long, complex, and well-vetted decision-making process.

Best wishes

Aanchal Sahni (INSEAD alum, ex admissions interviewer)
