While students from China make up nearly one-third of all foreign students studying in the United States according to data compiled by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, some colleges and education institutions allege more and more Chinese applicants are committing various forms of fraud on their college applications.
In fact, the proportion of doctored applications may be as high as one in ten.
Timothy Pratt of the Hechinger Report has the story:
Concerns rise about cheating by Chinese applicants to U.S. colleges
TThe application essay from a student in China sounded much like thousands of others sent each year to the University of Washington at Seattle.
“‘I did this,” admissions officer Kim Lovaas remembers the essay saying, and, “‘I did that.’” Then she came to a phrase that stopped her short: “Insert girl’s name here.”
“I thought, ‘Did I just read that?’” said Lovaas, associate director for international student enrollment, admissions, and services. “To me, that was a really big red flag.”

Sounds like ideal candidates for government “service.”
Whenever I hear some hack refer to his gig as.”public service” I think of the term for what a bull does to a cow…service…
WHAT? from a country that excels in international intellectual PIRACY???
That report is slanted.
Babs, there must be a chink in the application process.
You two Roosevelts have obviously gone bad.
Shame on both of you going for cheap laughs.
“Cheaters will be dealt with at ORIENTation.”
Hey, if lying worked for foreign student Barack Obama….
I have a good friend who was born in China, but whose family was shipped to South Africa to do some kind of work which basically amounted to slave labor. My friend managed to get to America, eventually got naturalized, was a nanny to this really awful family, went to school at night to become a physical therapist. She applied for all kinds of grants and federal aid and small business loans to open up her salon and did so under the guise of being an African-American.
I did a project at a historically black college in 2012. I was stunned by the number of chinese students–most of whom were classified as African-American because their families did work in Africa or because the chinese promised black universities funding to accept them.
I say it over and over. The chinese haven’t had an original thought in 5000 years and black people are complicit in their own demise.
