Has anyone lied?

Applying to College Admission Stories

I was thinking how possible it would be to lie on an application, and I haven’t found any other threads about this, besides <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/common-application/997355-cant-you-lie.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/common-application/997355-cant-you-lie.html</a>.

I was curious if any of y’all have lied and got/didn’t get away with it – not saying that I would ever, just curious.

Anyone?

I think with the competitiveness of college, everyone fudges on their applications a bit to make their achievements or EC seem that much better, or more important.

I admit that I fudged my essay a bit, adding a bit of flourish here and there, but I didn’t outright lie in anything. I’m good with writing creatively, so I used that talent to dress up my essay.
