<p>I have my cousin's supplement to GW from 2009, do you guys think I could reuse it? He got into GW but he didn't go. Would GW find out or is it too long ago to remember?</p>
<p>Are you unable or unwilling to do your own?</p>
<p>Using another persons supplement would be plagiarism. So just don’t even go there.</p>
<p>Write your own supplement.</p>
<p>In other words, “Should I cheat on a major component of my application to GWU?” Probably won’t get many affirmative answers here.</p>
<p>Do whatever you like - it’s your future. But if your luck is really, really bad, you’ll get the same reader who read your cousin’s app from 2009 . . . and that probably wouldn’t turn out so well.</p>
<p>You do realize it would take about two minutes to automatically do a plagiarism check on all the supplements submitted electronically, including a database of every one ever submitted to the school?</p>
<p>Agreed. First I wouldn’t compromise yourself in this way. Say you get in, attend, earn your degree, investing 4+ years hard work and tens of thousands of dollars. After you graduate the fact that you plagiarized comes to light. You do realize your degree would be revoked. You then have lost your integrity, a lot of time, money, and you have no degree to show for it! You would have an academic record destroyed, making it impossible to go to another school right away even if you wanted to invest more time and money. All this over a supplement. An electronic form and an essay. Are you willing to risk your future over something you most certainly can do yourself?</p>
<p>Oh wait: about your “cousin” His essay wouldn’t be any of those you’ve recently collected from other CC users with whom you’ve traded, right? You certainly wouldn’t stoop so low as to invent this “cousin” and instead, submit an essay you’ve recently “acquired”? Surely not. Outrageous.</p>
<p>Absolutely! You should definitely use it!</p>
<p>Because I like GW, and think they’d be better off without a student who’d seriously contemplate doing such a thing.</p>
<p>Ugghh!! You do realize admissions reps for many, many schools (GW included) visit these forums frequently, even If they don’t participate, running a global search on their schools name to see what’s being said?</p>
