<p>So i was in the library this morning and I heard this girl say that she got into UCLA and that she was planning on going. The person she talked to then asked her, "what did you write for your essay?" and she responded, "I got a scholarship so i didn't have to write one." Then the person said "What did u get on ur SAT's?" and she said "i didn't have to take them."
I was already like ***??!!?! but didn't say anything. I have the girl in my calc class and a friend congratulated me on my acceptance, so i took the opportunity to congratulate the girl on her "acceptance" as well. I then asked her when she got in and she said "Like 2 weeks ago." (she told someone else LAST SEMESTER that she got accepted. don't know how that would have been possible)so I responded, "Oh really? Wow, well congrats then." and i whispered to my partner that they didn't post online till yesterday and that i was pretty sure they didn't send letters till march 15 (def not 2 weeks ago). I also told him about the convo I heard this morning. Then he sort of confronted her and asked about her SAT scores and essay. She said that she also got into USC and that because these schools are in CA, they don't require SAT scores. And then she said that the scholarships she won were for volleyball, even tho i was captain of her team and her butt was glued to the bench the entire season, so i knew that was a load of crock. She followed it up by saying the scholarships were not from the school and that she has connections because her sister LIVES a block away from the school. (because if u live in westwood, you just must have connections right? i don't think so)..another friend confronted her and she said that she was waiting on NYU because UCLA isn't her first choice. Please tell me that I am not wrong in being completely and utterly irritated by this and that she is in fact lying and i am not just horribly misinformed. Does any part of this story make sense to ANYONE?</p>
<p>Tell her she is a disgrace to any prospective student that's ever applied to a university. It's one thing if you don't get in, but to actually lie about it. It's just despicable, tell her you're not buying it and throw in a "go to hell" if you want.</p>
<p>She sucks at lying, LOL.</p>
<p>yea, it just ticks me off because it demeans the people who did accepted and worked there asses off doing it. i know i should have but i didn't wanna put her on blast in front of the entire class, but i might just have to now lol</p>
<p>Wow, just let it go.</p>
<p>You're going to get here and realize there are plenty of lazy habitual liars who did get in. No reason to go and make yourself look like a jerk in front of your whole high school and ruin the rest of that girls senior year.</p>
<p>true..i know i won't no matter how bad i want to. i wanted to sooo bad today, but i'll admit, i'm a nice person and thought about how embarrassed she'd be</p>
<p>be happy you got in. That's all that matters. No need to worry about these trivial things.</p>
<p>
:rolleyes:</p>
<p>I agree with pretty much all of the above.</p>
<p>Maybe she might be the next Azia Kim?</p>
<p>who the **** cares, why is this suck a big deal? ok so she lied sucks to be her.</p>
<p>Is she lying? Probably/most likely. Does it make you angry? of course? But is it really any of your business? No, not really. Yeah, it'll make you mad when someone lies about getting into a college, but technically it really is none of your business. Congratulations on getting in, but seriously if others feel they have to lie to keep up appearances let them lie. Lies usually catch up to people anyway</p>
<p>Get over it.</p>
<p>And get happy that YOU got in, and it is in fact, YOU that will be here next year and not her. Things like that don't matter any more once you're here. Trust me. :)</p>
<p>yea i know. u're both rite^^^ i just wanted to vent..but didn't wanna do it to people at school and make her life hell so i did it here.</p>
<p>let the liars lie. the only person who is really hurt is the girl.. so let her be. I don't think it was even necessary to post this on a public forum...</p>
<p>alrite alrite. my bad</p>
<p>Don't stress! This has happened to my friends and I a few times, and as much as I hate to admit it, it frustrated the heck out of me. She makes it look so easy to get in, and it undermines your accomplishments when you know that she would never have gotten accepted, right? Just laugh (albeit, quietly). She sounds like she is probably desperate to make herself look smarter than she truly is, and if my guess is right, she's struggling as to what college she will go to (if any have accepted her). Not to put her down, but it sounds like she is probably insecure, scared, or just trying to soften the blow to a bad rejection. As far as ruining her senior year, I agree that the lies will come out soon enough when she gets "accepted" to NYU but mysteriously decides not to go. She'll ruin her own senior year, and it won't bother you a bit because you will have already become a Bruin.</p>
<p>ask her to go to orientation with u</p>
<p>^ Hehe, that's just completely evil!</p>
<p>idk,,she told me during vball season that she got a scholarship to community college for basketball, so who knows. its okay tho, i just wanted to let out my frustrations where it wouldn't cause problems for her. i'm cool now</p>
<p>so later is she actually going to admit she wasn't accepted? or just not go there?</p>
<p>i still think u should ask her to orientation...lol
or if u don't wanna go with her... u can go with me (17/m/CA) .... xD i use to play volleyball too...haha</p>
