I want too pretend to have been a Harvard dropout for social climbing purposes.

Basically, I plan to research campus life and whatever throwaway humanities thing I'll pretend to have dropped out of, and then mention having gone to Harvard "for a while" to people likely to care about something like that. I'll be able to talk the talk and without claiming to have a degree, it should be more or less unfalsifiable.

It hinges on one key thing: are all enrolled students a matter of public record in universities? Could I get caught out?

Not making the best first impression, am I?

You'd get caught fast. Meet one alumni who matches to when you should've been there and you're ruined. Yes, almost all Alumni are online in their own database. Why would you pretend to have gone somewhere, that's retarded.

Very stupid idea. Once you get the reputation of being from a particular school, other people from that school are likely to seek you out. All it takes is meeting one real Harvard grad to expose you, then you'll be socially ruined.

Damn. Even paper records would have bothered me.
Are you sure that all students are logged and not just graduates? Alumnus usually implies graduate.

As for why, it's purely social. I'm cuckoo's-egging my way into the upper middle class tribe.
If this way isn't viable, I will find another.

That's a concern. But I would chose a subject with a fairly large number of people in the lecture hall and little in the way of group projects.
"I tended to keep my head down back then."

No, all Alumni in the same town know each other. Trust me. As for the Alumni database, they can always ask there on the forums (Yes Harvard Alumni have a forum as far as I remember) on does anyone know you and eventually someone will run you through a TA or a guy who is now a professor. All they have to ask you is which house you were in anyway or they will call Grossman Library and see have you ever published anything in anywhere at Harvard.

It's not a very smart move desu. Seems to me like whatever you do you're going to be found out as a tryhard. Being upperclass is not learned, at best you're a new rich and everybody despise you for it.

If you really want to fit in, I guess the only way is to show real success, be yourself and be proud of it. That's assuming you've got anything to be proud off though. And even then, you gain acknowledgement, that's about it.

Nobody will believe you. And going there for "a while" means absolutely nothing. People will easily be able to figure you out just based on your mannerisms.

I like what you're trying to do, it's passionate and out of the ordinary. Real life isn't like the movies though, there are so many ways for someone to just check if it adds up, and you will be completely and utterly destroyed socially if people find out you're trying so hard that you construct a lie this big. It's not cool to care that much and when people inevitably find out you'll have dug yourself into a hole instead of clibing upwards in the social hierarchy
>>
>>1793815
the fact that you're considering lying about going to harvard means you're a dipshit and would be sniffed out quickly by smart people

smart people would be disgusted by you. definitely wouldn't be climbing very high up the ladder. you're a fuckboy btw
>>
Everyone pretty much knows Harvard is a shit-show who goes out of their way to accept students that are non white males because they're Marxist commies like all the other colleges

You have to have serious connections as a white guy to get into Harvard and it's not like anyone there is genuinely smart anyway besides the kikes.

Sounds like you have never attended university.
Every university has an online portal for students, and of course undergraduates have access (and are therefore registered there).
