<p>I always assume that anybody posting here is a hypothetical person.</p>
<p>But if you'd posted your real scores everyone else would have known you were real and tried to give you helpful suggestions! B students go to college too!</p>
<p>I'm glad that someone is stepping forward and aadmitting that they fudged their resume a bit. Good for you! There's nothing to be ashamed of just because you don't have a 4.0 u/w or a 2400 SAT, very very few people do.</p>
<p>Yeah, agree with Muffy333. We would have helped u out (I don't remember seeing u around though). Granted some people do have a sharp tongue, but they are lot of nice people here on CC who genuinely do care and try to help out without being judgmental.
Have u applied to any schools yet? Don't give up! Read ctmomof3's thread, and if u go down the transfer road albeit IsleBoy's advice, u can retake the SATs then. Stick around. We would not judge.</p>

I don't understand how it takes "courage" or "guts" to admit that you lied to a community of people you never have even met before...

Same, I don't know why you people are all giving congratulations.</p>
<p>Who cares if somebody on a forum you visit lied about their stats and came clean? I sure as hell don't. This thread or the username/persona itself could be a fake. I couldn't care less if someone on this site lied about their stats or "confessed" to it.</p>
<p>Wow, please be LESS insensitive. </p>
<p>Why even have a forum like this if you believe everybody is lying?</p>
<p>I am an adult, but I recognize 2 kids from our school on here and they lie or should I say embellish too. It is sad that between parents and peers you kids have to feel like you are supposed to be something you are not. I was a classic underachiver, I felt like I spent my whole life failing to be what people thought I should be or what I THOUGHT others thought I should be, then one day (after I had kids) someone who was incredibly rich, classy and put together sat down next to me and tearfully said "I just want to be like you and I can't" and I realized then, after way too many years-- that the grass always looks greener, and we are who we are, we are who we are meant to be including all of our flaws and mistakes and without the pain of the bumps and broken dreams we would never grow. Promise yourself to be who you are and be happy with the gifts that you have.</p>
<p>Dont worry, nobody is getting a 2275 any time soon either</p>
<p>It does seem like a lot of people posting here have amazing stats, so I can see where that would lead to insecurity and feeling less than. All that talk about Ivy league and whatnot. Glad to see that you felt you could be honest about who you are. It always feels right to be true to yourself. I really don't think that top schools are for everyone and are not really a measure of "success." How you feel about yourself is the true measure of success. Getting good grades is just that....getting good grades....it doesn't necessarily mean anything except you may have a good memory and can spit out facts. Really not a true measure of what happiness is at all, not even close.</p>
<p>Follow your dreams and enjoy the journey!</p>
<p>thanks a lot everyone i really appreciate it. To the people who are responding saying that I should not be commended for writing this thread, your right. I am just trying to be honest to myself and felt like posting for everyone to see. It was something I had to do for myself. If you cant understand that then thats fine.</p>
<p>thedreammusc,it is good that you know yourself - ur a good person... ill pray for you!</p>
<p>That is really cool of you. There are a lot of people on this site that probably embellish everything so don't worry about it. Its freakin intimidating because people on this site are monsters with 2400 SATs and 5.0 GPAs. I get scared too. You're a cool person so even sweat it. I respect you more because of this than if you had the stats that you claimed before :)</p>
<p>I got 2401 on my SAT 3.</p>
<p>your cool bowler</p>
<p>"Conscience - the faculty of one's mind. Glad that you've been able to free your conscience. Never say Never, just keep working hard to attain your goals.</p>
<p>lol. It's expected that some people lie on CC. With all the competition, there will always be @#@#@!?!(you fill in the word) who want to make themselves feel powerful or confident by posting great stats, or as some do, to scare other qualify candidates. It's great that you can face reality. On a practical note, it doesn't do you or anyone any good to lie lol. Cause in all truth and honesty, you @#!@! yourself over by lying so to those on CC who like to boost stats or boast about qualifications that you don't have, continue, because on March 31 or April 1, it will be the moment of truth. Nice for the awakening though! :).</p>
