<p>Considering how selective colleges are these days and how the top colleges reject so many insanely good applicants, I believe the vast majority of people on here are not lying.</p>
<p>I could see people lying more in real life than on CC mostly because on CC people are usually posting their stats on chancing threads; wouldn’t they realize that giving inaccurate stats is gonna give them inaccurate responses? so it’d be a waste of everyone’s time…</p>
<p>Maybe if they’re in a heated verbal argument with another CC’er they might be like “yo dude i have a 2400 on the SAT so don’t mess with me cause i checked your posting history and saw you only have a 2350.” But besides that I don’t really see the benefit in lying.</p>
<p>I guess there are ■■■■■■, but to say everybody is lying about their stats is incorrect.</p>
<p>People who are inferior want to feel superior. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This, basically. They want to talk down to the people ahead of them. Even if it’s untrue, everyone wants a jab at the person on top.</p>
<p>If i were talking with my friends I might lie, but why lie on here? I know a few people in real life here, but they don’t know my username I post stats with. </p>
<p>EDIT: I made 2 accounts ;)</p>
