Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>When filling out college applications, I put that I was team captain of the swim team. At the time I expected to be team captain, but the season hadn't started, so it wasn't absolute. Out of ignorance, I didn't ask my coach if I would be team captain in this year's season. Now it turns out that I am not team captain. I got accepted into my top choice school, and am really nervous about what I should do.</p>

<p>As of right now it seems to be that I have the following choices: </p>

<p>-attempt to persuade my coach into making a "b captain" position for me, so technically I would be a team captain</p>

<p>-talk to my college counselor about it; however, I'm not sure if he is legally obligated to release any confessions of academic dishonesty</p>

<p>-let it go and hope that in my college career nobody finds out (I want to avoid this, as I would be living in terror for the next 4 years, since the college can void my acceptance even after my enrollment)</p>

<p>I cannot express my degree of nervousness, and I would GREATLY appreciate any advice.</p>

<p>Hmm. If I was in your position, I would talk to my coach first. If he says no, I’d talk to my counselor.
I can’t think of a way, other than you telling them or them getting in contact with your counselor, that they would find out. However, I’m not expert on college application policies. This is a major mistake and I’d get it sorted out as quickly as possible before things go haywire.
And don’t ever assume anything. You never know what could happen!</p>
