<p>If you know that someone is cheating with their applciaiton, how can you report them?</p>
<p>by cheating, I mean lying</p>
<p>Let it go. It’s none of your business. Besides, life’s too short to worry about whether someone else is lying on their resume. Worry about your own.</p>
<p>Ugh! It just bothers me so much! Do this kind of people EVER get punished for what they have done?</p>
<p>Yes, they will get punished in someway or another. It may not be right away, but chances are, if they lie on their college app, they will probably lie on their resume and on other things as they get older, and it will catch up to them one day. Don’t worry about it. And by “cheating/lying” do you mean that they deliberately lied, or they kind of just stretched the truth on something?</p>
<p>Sometimes they do get punished. If I were you, I would go tell your school counselor that this person is cheating on their application. Someone in my school completely lied about his athletic activities and the team found out and reported him to his counselor. You can be sure that the colleges he applied to got a nice phone call about his cheating/lying.</p>
<p>don’t worry about it. karma will bite the person back one day</p>
<p>Well that both did both. For example, the yearbook committee, or mostly this person and her friend, agreed on the fact that we weren’t going to have any editor in chief, but this person still went ahead and wrote she was editor in chief on her application. And she started a club in the school just to make her resum</p>
<p>She’s just being dishonest and using everyone… how easy is it for the admissions office to see that applicants are lying?</p>
<p>I’m co-president and the other prez does nothing!! Never comes to the meetings ever! But she still gets to put President on her application for doing nothing. </p>
<p>I have to say that one activity won’t change her app that much. Adcoms can probably see through a lot of lies like random clubs that have the same purpose but with different names, like a school with Key Club and Community Service Club.</p>
<p>Same here! I’m the treasurer for the club and I have been calling everyone for meetings for the entire last term and stayed late at school to put up posters and so on. </p>
<p>I hope they can see that she is full of crap. The club is amnetsy international…so i’m not so sure if they’ll be able to do that…but if they say they are good, then… 
hopefully</p>
<p>Ugh. I know someone like that too…=( There must be a lot of people in the world like that. She “decided” she was captain of the golf team even though the golf coaches never announced captains…</p>
<p>:( report her. such people are so crappy. let them live the rest of their lvies on lies! muhaha</p>
<p>delation will only make you similar to the person cheating. rise above, you are worth more than that.</p>
<p>Yeah, just tell your guidance counsellor. If your counsellor doesn’t do anything, then tell the college. </p>
<p>It’s totally your business, especially if you’re pretty sure the applicant cheated. The applicant is trying to take away someone else’s spot who actually deserves it. </p>
<p>If people like you don’t report it (not that I’m saying you won’t), we might as well all cheat. </p>
<p>And yes, it irks me so much how people do stuff for the sake of resume/application padding. People lists like 10+ clubs on their applications but go to less than half of the meetings for each of them. Clubs have totally lost their purposes these days.</p>
<p>99% of students cheat in school nowadays… what a shame</p>
<p>I would recommend discussing the issue with your school counselor and trying to remain anonymous. The colleges don’t want someone that complains. They want someone that rises above others in an ethical fashion. Also, be very careful with what you say because sometimes students are not lying/cheating even when you think they are. For example, at my school lots of the advisors/presidents will “appoint” you to club positions simply if you ask. Of course, most of these positions are basically figurehead’s but legally they are still allowed to put them on the application. I don’t know about other schools but that happens at my school. However, I would honestly just ignore it, they will get caught eventually.</p>
<p>at our school, there was even a position in our school spirit organization called “commissioner of beverages.” The organization doesn’t sell any food or drink LOL. :)</p>
<p>I doubt the college will believe you; how do they know you aren’t lying just to screw over the applicant?
I totally get your drift, seeing as my lab partner has said herself that she has an A instead of a C because she literally copies my every test. I wanted to tell my teacher, but it will just be so much more satisfying when she takes her MCAT and realizes she hasn’t learned s***.</p>
<p>Bottom line, selective schools could care less about the average in school club.</p>
