<p>I'm NOT talking about lying in applications... I'm talking about lying about getting accepted/deferred/rejected/waitlisted etc. Are any of you guys planning to do so?</p>
<p>So far, I've kept my likely letter a secret... and I don't know if I'll reveal where I did/didn't get in at all. But saying nothing will be tough, so I might end up lying outright. In my school, a lot of kids are really competitive. I've avoided telling others to spare their feelings.</p>
<p>But I'm sure it might go the other way... would you consider pretending you got in somewhere you didn't? Would you lie to friends? Strangers?</p>
<p>I know how u feel. There's this one specific girl who wants to know everyone who's gotten in and/or rejected. Especially if u applied to TCNJ. She's asked me four times already. Thankfully i've only told her that i applied to 4 of the schools and excluded TCNJ. If i get in. I am NOT going to tell her even if she directly asks me. In my opinion, this is my personal business she is intruding upon and i see no point of telling her.</p>
<p>hahaha well one of my friends and i have agreed to yell out(read:make up) that we got accepted to HYPSM near this person that we don't particularly like, since all she talks about is college, and she always laughs at another one of our friends because he's not as smart as her.</p>
<p>otherwise though i don't think we'll be doing much lying about acceptances though. my friends and i agreed to go out for ice cream each time we got rejected. =D</p>
<p>What about hiding acceptances? I liked Stanford when I applied, but there's no longer any chance that I'll go... a couple of my friends had chosen it as a first choice, though. Should I say I got rejected no matter what?</p>
<p>... would that invite too much suspicion or expose myself to nasty "HA you thought you could get in but you can't!" comments? Ehhh...</p>
<p>I think it's good to share your accomplishments with your friends if they're the kind that can be happy for you and not secretly harbor jealousy.</p>
<p>I think it's good to share ur accomplishments to people who will truely enjoy them and understand u. Not to people who just want to see u "go down" or are just in it to see who's better. Personally if u don't like the person or if u feel queasy in telling a certain person i would keep my mouth shut. or just tell her when she asks</p>
<p>Haha. My school is sooo anti-competitive. You should all come spend a few days at my school. Hell, everyone ends up at various state schools - I think there are two going to private schools this year. Not that I should talk, I'm one of the masses going to state school - but it was close between that and a private school. That's what happens when your parents say, "Hmm, yeah - pay for college yourself."</p>
<p>Anyway, before going off topic, I don't feel the need to hide anything from anyone at my school, because they don't care. And if they do care, it's goodnatured caring. :)</p>
<p>Oh yeah, I got accepted to my friend's top choice school with a big scholarship, and am probably not going there. If she gets rejected, I got rejected, too ;). LOL.</p>
<p>I told one kid at school (that I don't really like) about getting waitlisted at Wash U. He spread the info around everywhere, and I heard that he and another rather arrogant kid were boasting about getting into Wash U when I didn't (I'm considered a better student).
I felt annoyed, because they were trying to feel superior to me. But oh well--I'm not going to lie because of people like that. People will always be jealous/smug, and in real life you can't avoid it--just have to deal with it.</p>
<p>Idk, I'm pretty secretive about stuff (even though my classmates find out the strangest things/stalk me, "I joined math team because I heard you were on it". Um, thanks, creeper...) so I definitely won't tell anything about schools I apply to/acceptances/rejections</p>
<p>Well, I got a full-ride to Caltech on the day all my friends were getting rejected from MIT, so I figured it wouldn't exactly be tactful to tell them, unless it was in some very indirect way that they probably wouldn't notice anyway.</p>
<p>I'm a junior now... but I'm planning on having a "no-discussing-acceptances/rejections-policy..." I'll tell all my friends where I've finally decided to go, but I'm not going to tell them all my results.... although, we'll probably end up having a venting session, during which all the results will come out anyway =)</p>
<p>I doubt I could hide my decisions from people at my school even if I wanted to; there are only 50 students in my grade, and everyone is always in everyone else's business, so someone is bound to find out eventually. I don't know, I'm not going to lie about any of it, but I'll try my hardest to be tactful.</p>
<p>at my school, the headmaster announces each student's college acceptances after lunch, so everyone knows. But I go to a private high school with only 230 students and 50 seniors...</p>

<p>Haha, exactly. Maybe I'll just be sure to find out everyone else's acceptances first before I say one way or another...</p>
<p>I do the same as cowtipper1. Plus, sometimes I'm subtle on Facebook and let others figure these sorts of things out for themselves, instead of me telling them. :)</p>
