<p>i lied on mine.</p>
<p>i said i was god. accept me or be smitten. </p>
<p>just kidding. for those who have lied, you can go die kthxbye.
its a personal preference. i didnt lie on mine.
I PERSONALLY would want to be accepted for who i am and what i have to offer. not for what i am not and what i could never offer.</p>
<p>UCSB is a mediocre school where mediocre students go. Who really cares if someone cheated their way to mediocrity…</p>
<p>Word-A-Day toilet paper, 123456789bc?</p>
<p>I lied on mine. Told em I was a black Indian Jewish immigrant, with parents who were in the Holocaust, and that I live in a shack close to the boarder of Mexico where I squeeze my own milk, flatten my own tortillas, and churn my own butter. Told em I started 10 non-profit orphan fighting organizations where orphans can take out their anger in a UFC style competition. Told em I walk 20 miles in the snow to class every day and that I watched my parents eat my little brother alive, and waited for them to eat me but I ran away and got married, had kids, and published my theory in a scientific journal that everything in the world is a lie, and nobody actually exists but me, and the narrator in my head. Told em I started the birther movement where we believe Obama is not a citizen, and that I sold a million T-shirts to rednecks and gave the money to Obama for his campaign. I doubt they’ll audit me.</p>
<p>TIMEOUT,
UCSB doesn’t even look at the admissions essay for transfers???</p>
<p>I might have slightly exaggerated the amount of cross country running I did. That said I can run a 5 minute mile and I bench press 150% of my weight for reps.</p>
<p>^ lol at “the beach is that way”</p>
<p>dey be trollin’
dey hatin’</p>
<p>I think everyone lies about their EC’s a little. Impossible to prove, so why not say you spent 5 hours a week helping some club when you really spent 2? :D</p>
<p>But ya, I do hate cheaters too … :)</p>
<p>I didn’t lie. My Congressional Medal in Community Service speaks for itself lol. I did have a hard time trying to figure out what to label certain awards. I received a certificate from “C, Ray Nagin” (Mayor of New Orleans) for this summer program I helped with two summers ago. The award said this “Be it known that Mayor C. Ray Nagin City of New Orleans has this day proclaimed a special day of honor bestowed upon Victoria Felt In appreciation of your participation in the Summer of Service program. Attested to this Fifth day of August Two Thousand and Eight” lol I had no idea what to call this award…</p>
<p>An award placed in your hands directly by the mayor? I doubt it. And xelink, seems to think muscles get you into a school. I would argue that talking about ones bench pressing ability would get an instant reject.</p>
<p>No he didn’t… In fact I didn’t even receive the award until 3 months after it was supposedly given to me. In fact I only met him briefly once and it was totally non related to the award. It really is a joke to me. Especially because Nagin is a joke (if you have any background in what went down in NOLA during Katrina you’ll understand what I mean).</p>
<p>
if you tie it into your major, it could help you(say you’re a biochemistry major)</p>
<p>that said, it went into a check box and nothing more. I’m a small guy still at 150lbs(up from 100) and my hobby is an integral part of my life, but it’s not an obsession. not anymore at least. I wrote about my passion for economics and how I’ve observed things(economies of scale for example) while working and researching technology.</p>
<p>“So, I was wondering if anyone or anyone’s “friend” has been dishonest or stretched the truth a bit on the UC app and still got accepted (this year or previous years)? Or, conversely, has anyone been called on their false statements and been denied, or had to provide evidence to save their ass from being denied? On second thought, let’s not restrict this to UC’s but open it up to any university. Lay your stories on me people.”</p>
<p>What is a UC anyways? I had a teacher whos wife wrote his teachers college application, he got denied, and his wife wrote another letter for him to get him in, before that he was waiting tables.</p>
<p>"I guess I could start…</p>
<p>I don’t know if you would consider this lying (definitely dishonest), but my sister wrote her ex-husband’s personal statement for UCSB and the ■■■■■■■ got accepted. His gpa was super low and he even had to repeal, which my sister also wrote the repeal for him. But, what a bunch of crap. He totally didn’t deserve to be accepted, and worse, he took someone else’s spot who was more deserving. Foreshame."
How do you know if he deserved to be accepted or not, isn’t that the role of the admissions board to decide?</p>
<p>Wait- I can’t tell if you’re serious or not- You want to know what a UC is?</p>
