My own brother did something similar to gain an advantage.... He put "other" as opposed to "white" on his application to that Ivy League college in New Hampshire. He got in.... And I can assure you it was not because of his grades... They were fully expecting a black kid from the north shore of Boston to check off a box in their demographic. The alumni that came to meet with him, after the acceptance, gave it away with her initial reaction..... And forty years later he still identifies as a graduate of that school.

So do the ends justify the means? Or is it a telltale signal of whether someone is going to be a rule follower instead of chiseler? I have my own opinion....

“Americans have the right and advantage of being armed, unlike the people of other countries, whose leaders are afraid to trust them with arms.” – James Madison.
