<p>So any more thoughts about whether apps are re-reviewed after admissions decisions are already made?</p>
<p>Revolutionarypatriot,
The questions you're so obsessively asking make it seem like you are trying to figure out the odds of getting away with lying on your app. </p>
<p>As you can find in previous threads on this subject, the small lies such as saying you had a membership or an office in some minor club or saying that you did 6 hours a week on an EC instead of 1 hour a week aren't likely to get caught. However, those kind of activities aren't going to boost a student into the places like HPYS that care greatly about ECs.</p>
<p>The big lies that might boost a student in to top colleges -- things like being an Intel finalist, winning the governorship at Boys State, being a state record holder in a sport, lying and saying that one has never been suspended from school or convicted of a crime-- are so big that the liars are apt to get caught. </p>
<p>The world of adcoms is much intimate than students would expect, and coincidences abound. An example would be if an adcom tells one of their relatives about a student who has been accepted from the relative's h.s. If the relative then tells the adcom that the student didn't do the awards/achievements that the student had reported on their app, I'm sure that the adcom would review the student's app.</p>
<p>Once on CC, someone said that their kid, captain of the h.s. football team, was interviewed at a distant college coincidentally right after a classmate who had lied and told the adcom that he was the captain.</p>
<p>Want to lie? Take your chances, but don't be surprised if you end up in worse shape than if you had simply told the truth. You'd be better off putting the time into ECs and essays that you're putting into seeking the answer to your questions on this thread.</p>
