We have seen a sharp increase as well and know of many other schools that has as well.  We have implemented Captcha 
validation as our first step to reduce the fake applications.

Subject: [SECURITY] How do you deal with "fake" student applications?

Good afternoon.  I have recently become a member of this forum and am impressed by the guidance that I have seen 
flowing back and forth.  First of all, thank you for sharing.  Second, I have also seen an increase in the number of 
"fake" student applications that are submitted /received at my institution and I was wondering if anyone else was 
having the same experience?  If you are, is there any guidance that you can please share with regards to how you deal 
with these in your environment?  Thank you in advance and have a good day.
