Be Careful With Your Profile...A Lesson from MIT
At the intersection of "getting into college" and "what you say about yourself" comes this story that is sending shockwaves through the college admissions universe:
The Dean of Admissions at MIT has resigned, effective immediately, for claiming to have degrees that she didn't have. Story here.
What's perhaps most interesting is that this school is highly competitive, and this dean had, among other things, advocated transparency in the admissions process.
Remember this, students, as you think about what you say about yourselves online.
