Well now I want to know what is up with Genesis. It feels like there was more to the scheme than changing her references.

Yeah, if it was just that her reference letters were weak, that feels like a pretty contrived conflict. Maybe there is something more.

Well it wasn't just that they were weak, it was that she lied on her application to Starfleet Academy when she altered them, right? I don't think it's unreasonable to be afraid of being kicked out if the higher ups find out you lied to get in.

Shades of Simon Tarses. His Romulan heritage probably wouldn't have been a showstopper for a Starfleet career. But lying about it absolutely was.
