<p>im sure this question has been asked 500 million times, but do colleges actually verify that you've done everything you say? not that anyone i know would lie, but i mean, come on, doesn't it seem a little too easy to just pretend you were a part of a million clubs and projects?</p>

<p>i am honestly really worried that colleges will think i made up some of the stuff on my resume, because most of it does not have any valid proof....for example, i wrote that i founded a small company and the name of it, but it's literally impossible to find online...do you think colleges will look for it and not believe me when they can't find it?</p>

<p>They don’t verify. They rely on your integrity. Basically, if it’s small enough to lie and not get caught – they’re generally useless in terms of making a difference (100 comm service hours versus 1000 hours or treasurer versus founder of the high school Anime club – who cares?)</p>

<p>Ones that are significant (Siemens, state track record holder) enough to catch a reader’s attention – will be easily verified and probably re-stated by others in your file.</p>
