Home Address School vs. College Apps

Applying to College
1

<p>A friend lives out of district for a high school but lied, using his aunt's address, which is in district, to be allowed to attend that school. </p>

<p>Now that the college application process is full blown, and he needs to turn in apps November 1, he's stressing out.</p>

<p>He wants to know whether he should put his real address, and even reference it in his essay, or pretend the entire way he lives at his aunt's house. </p>

<p>I suppose the question is,
do colleges have access to the the address archived at school?
or do they have only the personal information he sends to them?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>The address may be on the HS transcript, I know it’s on ours. However, there are legitimate reasons why the address on the app maybe different from the one on the transcript. I don’t think colleges pay attention to that, they will use the address provided on the application. I’m assuming his home and his Aunt’s addresses are in the same state.</p>

<p>The issue is more between the student and the HS; he should not address it in his essay.</p>
