<p>I have a classmate who seriously lies his way into everything. I've tried to ignore it but it's driving me crazy. It ****es me off how others actually do the work and he cheats his way into it, like I would copy somebody's homework or cheat 1-2 problems on a test but he's crazy. He's "created" 10 fake clubs with no intention of recruiting or even having a single meeting. He's faking 250+ hours of volunteer over the summer. Cheats badly in tests and classes in general and says that he does a various amount of sports. Plus, the school I go to you have to apply for and he basically told me that he lied on that. He's making the fake clubs and faking the hours for college applications. What do I do about this? Should I just ignore it like I've been? Will colleges even notice how over the top this is? I know some have interviews but this kid is a really good liar.</p>
<p>I feel like colleges will be able to detect if the majority of one’s application is fabricated. It seems reckless to put that you’re in soccer, basketball, and baseball when you’ve never played a single sport in your high school career.</p>
<p>If what you’re saying is true, then karma will come for him sooner or later, because cheaters who fare well in high school usually can’t say the same in college. </p>
<p>Don’t lose sleep over it, just keep doing what you’re doing, and what he has waiting for him will rear its head soon enough.</p>
<p>I’m sure that, unless he is an extremely good liar-which he’s probably not because he comes off arrogant and too confident-, the colleges will catch him at his game.
If someone like that existed in my school, I would for sure teach them a lesson or two.</p>
<p>@preamble1776 - Well karma sure is taking awhile, it’s been 2 years.
@jmoney22 - His lying abilities are seriously over the top. If I hadn’t known about his personality, I would literally think everything he said is true. The thing is he talks like how an essay would sound out loud. It makes him sound really intelligent. Plus, he’s one of the few trying get into a state prep school in my school and usually only 1 or 2 get in. The others, including me, that are also trying to get in is annoyed by him since we all know he’ll be lying in those applications.</p>
<p>@labella - Maybe he’s a sociopath? Anyway - the public school system is flawed in this country and it makes it so that kids like him can do well by deceiving those around them. Time and time again, I’ve seen kids make their way to the top 10 through notes written under their sleeve, cheat sheets, and stolen tests. Believe me, he won’t get through college. College is a whole different ball game.</p>
<p>@preamble1776 - Hopefully. If karma’s taking awhile, it better strike hard. I really want to get into this prep school, with actual real stats, and if he takes it, oooooooo…</p>
<p>Prep school? Like a private high school? What grade are you currently in - I assumed that you were amidst the college admissions process, my b.</p>
<p>We’re both sophomores. You apply for the prep school during sophomore year and you attend the school during junior year if you get in. The prep school is called NCSSM, you can look into it if you want but it’s basically a hard boarding school to get in. I go to a really small school since and the AP classes are really hard into get into because the juniors/seniors are main priority. He’s manipulated his way to getting APES (which they don’t let students take until sophomore year) during freshmen year, plus AP Bio and APUSH this year (they don’t let us take it until junior year). He’s also taking AP Stat and AP Psych, but I’m currently taking AP Calc and AP Psych so I guess it kind of balances off. He threatened the school and I didn’t want to go that far just to take those classes.</p>
<p>How many kids from your school generally get into the Prep School - is it just one? Or can multiple students go? If he’s your only competition and multiple people can go, I wouldn’t worry too much about it.</p>
<p>Usually 1 but a couple years back 1 got in and another wait listed who eventually got in.</p>
<p>

<p>I’d like to think that, if something he put down was going to make or break his application at some insanely selective school, they’d verify it. But volunteer hours and founding random clubs isn’t really all that impressive anyway.</p>
