<p>From the OP.</p>
<p>This isn’t for real. It’s some sort of exercise - or prank.</p>

<p>No, she was not. Why? Because Harriet Beecher Stowe was a white person wrote Uncle Tom’s Cabin. She has nothing to do with voting rights. </p>
<p>Your absolute denial of any wrongdoing is childish and, frankly, beneath you. Grow up, do the responsible thing, and accept that you made a mistake.</p>
<p>Quite apart from the moral or ethical implications of what you’re planning to do, have you thought about the many ways it could come back to bite you in years to come? It seems to me that you are cutting yourself off from a great many professional options. For example, careers that involve background checks with any degree of scrutiny are off the table. You won’t be able to go into politics, not just as an elected official but as an appointee of stature, or to have a career that involves any level of security clearance, which is not just for some tiny number of spy types, but for lots of people involved in engineering or scientific work for companies that have defense contracts and people in various branches of the government doing a wide variety of interesting jobs. You won’t be able to work in law enforcement of any kind either, of course. If you apply for a government job with one of those under penalty of perjury clauses on the application, what are you going to do? And as for becoming licensed in a field like law, with stringent application requirements, would you plan to continue the lie and risk losing your license should the truth come out?</p>
<p>As you may discover, there really aren’t a lot of degrees of separation between people in this country. Presumably, hundreds of other students and quite a few professors at College A were acquainted with you, not to mention all of the kids from your high school who were aware that you graduated early and knew you were attending College A. Don’t you think it’s possible that some of these people will turn up at College B either as freshmen or fellow transfers? The same thing is also possible in the work place in your later life. </p>
<p>And meanwhile, what does College B think you did during what they must assume was your gap year? They know from your high school transcript that you weren’t still in high school last year. Does your “mistake” involve more than just omitting mention of your freshman year at College A, for example, did you resort to some creative writing to explain how you spent the last year? If so, you may be dealing with having presented College B with an application that was inaccurate/dishonest in more ways than leaving out your College A transcript. </p>
<p>I suspect that Shakespeare’s “what a tangled web” etc. might be more germane to your situation than Kohlberg.</p>
