In the movie Gattaca why was Vincent pretending to be Jerome Morrow?

In the movie "Gattaca" it is common for parents to engineer their children before birth and have them possess whatever favorable characteristics they favor, such as physical stamina or mental stability. Vncent was NOT engineered this way, but rather conceived naturally by his parents. He was born with a high probability of developing heart defects as a result (passed on genetically, we assume), and is seen as too imperfect to really succeed in such a society of perfect beings unlike himself. He buys Jerome's identity so that when screened he will appear to be perfect and will in turn have a chance at becoming an astronaut as he has always dreamed.
