staceybumbalough Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 How does Admissions detect fake transcripts? Someone got in a few schools with a fake transcript as a transfer student from a community college this year. This is weird.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJIT Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I do not know about others but 3 of the universities where i applied have called my undergraduate college and cross cheked the authenticity of LORs and the transcripts. This is told to me by my sources in the college adminstration staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceS Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 hi NJIT, Surely the 3 colleges u mentioned verified your LORs and transcripts DURING the admissions process right? Nothing after...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJIT Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 hi NJIT, Surely the 3 colleges u mentioned verified your LORs and transcripts DURING the admissions process right? Nothing after...? Surely, they crosschecked it before notifying me their decision.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simba Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Wht do they cross check about? a.) The authenticity of LOR tht whether the teachers have actually written it or not? b.) The certificates which the student has produced? c.) The character of the student? Well it wld b a hell lot of tedious task for these colleges to enquire abt each n every student! Hw do they enquire? Telephonically or by postal mails? I m sure my college wld never gonna relpy to postal mails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telephonically or by postal mails? I m sure my college wld never gonna relpy to postal mails. Exactly ! And this is the reason i think they filter out the students first.In my case all the 3 universities that enquired about me have given the positive decision.So IMO only those students are crosschecked whom university wishes to admit.Again there can be some filtering criteria further . One of my friend who was a faculty of Coumbia told me that universities generally enquire about those on whom they doubt about the authetecity.Something like , if the LOR is from less experienced proffessor,grades are low etc etc. In my case i had 1 LOR which was written by a proff who recruited just 5 years ago.So there can be a various criteia which gets applied to students and only then they are enquired.Like simba said , crosscheking thousands of applicants is hell lotta work [:p].

simba Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 In my case i had 1 LOR which was written by a proff who recruited just 5 years ago. and hw did they knw abt the date of his recruit? u mean to say tht 1st student is short listed based on the facts he/she prosuce, then they try chkin the authenticity of those facts, those appear to b faked are cross checked. Well thts sounds fair! but wht is the prob if the prof is recruited just a month ago? If he knows the student, then its absolutely fine!

NJIT Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 In all my LORs i requested my proffessors to include their full name,designation and no of yeares of esperience below their signature. Well, IMO , experience of the proff matters in LORs as weel as their designation because it shows the kind of *hold* he/she has in the department of the college.

enlin Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Hi, everyone.I am student in China and some of my classmates apply for universities in US. Some of the universities checked their transcripts by phone(they will let chinese students or someone who know chinese to call the school). In general,the school will cooperate with the university.

shona7913 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 R you serious? Do you think you the college that he/she transfered into knew anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giscard Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 It will come out. Eventually. The guy will get drunk, will brag that he fooled the school, and somebody will report it. It always comes out. Seriously, they call to the undergrad school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndcenter Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 A transcript is not easy to fake as the details can easily be verified if you are looking for a fake transcript check www.nd-center.com they produce excellent quality documents for a fair price but they are only intended to be used as replacement for the original.
