<p>Maybe you should tell your college about how you cheated then, since it's no big deal.</p>
<p>I've now decided to stay out of the cheating fight.</p>
<p>UNC Chapel Hill-in
Wake-90% chance
Vanderbilt-80% chance
Tulane-in
Northwestern-35% chance
Wash U-35% chance
Boston U-in
Harvard-2% chance
Princeton-4% chance
Columbia-30% chance
UPenn-25% chance
Emory-90% chance</p>
<p>I don't think your friend should have high hopes for Harvard - no one should, but not only are her scores, etc. on the low side as an applicant, but I don't think she really sounds like a Harvard student. UNC is almost a given, although it depends on where she's from. I'm from Charlotte and tons of people go to UNC from here -so it's a little more competitive. </p>
<p>Wake - Yes
Vanderbilt - Yes
Tulane - Yes
Northwestern - hmmm, maybe
Wash U - prob not
Boston U - Yes
Harvard - No
Princeton - No
Columbia - No
UPenn - No
Emory - Yes</p>
<p>As for cheating, maybe I'm weird but I have had to report my friends before. It's a big deal for me, and maybe I am part of the 1% that doesn't cheat in high school - but what a sad little world we live in if we can't survive what isn't even the real world yet without resorting to what I term as drastic measures. I think telling colleges that a friend has lied about her nationality is going to an extreme, but I agree with Azmodan to a degree.</p>
<p>Wow, topper, I actually understand your point. I do not cheat either, and frankly, none of my good friends do. This girl I know recently found out that this other guy cheated on all of the AP US tests and was apalled: "Nobody cheated in there!" But it is a sad world, and my reasoning for not turning anyone in has nothing to do with not caring about their actions; I just don't want to condemed as the squealer, whether by teachers or adcoms. But back to the colleges, I definitely agree with you. I think it is insane of her to get her sights set on Harvard. I have better scores, better grades, better activities, and still dismal hopes for where I applied. Oh well.</p>
