How long do you think you would be fooled by a below-average student claiming to be an excellent one? Would you honestly need more than five minutes to tell they're full of shit?

It seems unlikely that university admissions would have swallowed all those bullshit applications if they hadn't actively wanted to.

Where I live, most people do not go for face to face interviews for university courses. You're admitted on the strength of your personal statement and predicted grades instead which is why I was confused about it being a "diversity" thing.
