After posting A016提醒19级学弟学妹，请注意选导师的囚徒困境 to my Moments yesterday, @星期天的萨莉亚 commented that they had seen a case of a fake resume before.
Here’s a shady trick to help 19th-level students with their “cultivation”: Find an old double-choice form, change the time and grade, print it out, and show it to your dream mentor saying, “Teacher, a certain teacher (preferably the department head) recommended me to you. Here’s my resume and this year’s form. Please sign it.” Since everyone’s scheming anyway, why not schemer further
Let me elaborate, here is the recorded chat content:
Main text
Me: Has Sariya stepped on any traps? Want to share? 
Sariya: Just met someone who printed fake forms
Me: The teacher actually signed it?
Sariya: Signed it.
Me: Did it actually work in the end?
Sariya: Worked.
Me: 
Sariya: Especially doctoral supervisors don’t really manage master students; they sign wherever pointed. Meanwhile, the supervisors who always oversee clinics mostly ask, “When will you send out the double-choice forms?”
Me: Only the boldest would try that… haven’t teachers discovered it now? Or did it turn into a done deal, going with the flow? 
Sariya: Even if teachers find out, they won’t care. For undergrads, supervisors accept anyone — whether it’s student A or B. Also, that phrase “a certain teacher recommended me to you” is a tactic. Essentially, you first approach teacher A; if A is full or not recruiting, they kindly tell the student “teacher B probably hasn’t filled the spots yet.” The phrase is parsed as “a certain teacher recommended (that) I come to you (to ask)” rather than “a certain teacher recommended me coming to you.” But this trick is indeed very risky; some teachers who care might think this student’s character is bad.
Me: Risks and rewards coexist. May I adjust and post this part of our conversation?
Sariya: Sure, but proceed with caution and don’t forget that.
Conclusion
I hope normally timid students can be a bit bolder; teachers aren’t as scary as you think. Also, I hope some infatuated students can look further ahead — being greedy for small gains leads to great losses. Once this becomes known, you might miss future opportunities.
