<p>Do you know anyone who lied about their acceptance to a particular school. This one kid at my school claims to have gotten into stanford, but seems unqualified. Many people dont believe him.</p>
<p>^^^ OMG SAME HERE....one kid in my college kept bragging look at me im half cuban, IM A URM and i will get into ivy league college and he got rejected from all of them.....and now he claims he got a full ride to NYU while his parents are both doctors and combined earn 350-400k....so it cant be financially and academically because the kid isnt even top 25 in our grade and yet he claims that he got a full ride...he lied about his sats too...
his sister and him are twins...AND DO
EVERYTHING TOGETHER
and she told me he got a 1950 sat and he told us he got a 2100 ....how sad people lie like this</p>
<p>It happens all the time. B/c ppl feel jealous when they hear others got higher scores or get accepted in "better" colleges. Let them talk the talk. Lying can only reflect their personalities...</p>
<p>Yeah- Seth on the OC lied about getting into Brown.</p>
<p>The egos inflate and eventually they will burst!!!!!</p>
<p>There's one guy in my school who brags about getting into Harvard. Everyone thought it was kind of fishy, but congratulated him anyways. It turned out we were right, he was lying. The same went for a guy who supposedly got into Stanford.</p>
<p>how did you find out he was lying?</p>
<p>Isn't it somewhat silly to believe this big a lie can remain hidden for long? What would these kids do? Lie to their HS buddies for the next 4 years that they're going to HYP while actually attending Podunk U?</p>

<p>That made me chuckle. :)</p>
<p>I think everyone at my school is waiting to see my Brown letter, haha. We have a wall of acceptance/rejections (the acceptance half is much more filled...) where we've been posting any letters we get. I get like a question per day about my Brown letter, I just keep forgetting it.</p>

<p>Hehe, that made me chuckle as well.</p>
<p>this guy at my school says he got into UCLA, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, West Point, Carnegie Mellon, MIT, and Stanford. Basically, if you name a college, he says he got in.</p>
<p>I lied about getting in a small Catholic college near my home when really they lost my application but didn't bother with it because I was going somewhere else.</p>
<p>heybucs, a wall of acceptance/rejection letters???? </p>
<p>wow, i'm glad I don't go to your school.</p>
<p>I lied about where I was applying because I didn't want people to know if I got rejected from my ED school.</p>
<p>I had a friend who claimed she got into Harvard EA. She kept applying (she applied to a ridiculous number of schools, something like 26????). In the end, I asked her if she got rejected from any and she had to think about it for a while.......and then she said "no". (WHO HAS A HARD TIME REMEMBERING IF YOU GOT REJECTED?!?!?!?!). Then she ended up "rejecting" Harvard for St. Lawrence University in NY (I haven't even heard of it). She claimed she was going to Harvard until the very end of the summer. It was a pretty awful situation. She lied to my whole high school and community (its a small town). Everyone thought it was so amazing to have someone going to Harvard. She is a compulsive liar and I kind of knew (She was also BARELY top 10%). It was just an unfortunate situation since she has now had to cut herself off from the community entirely. No one has heard from her since. College is so much pressure from so many different angles.</p>
<p>Uhh we would have NO room for all the letters we get. Most students apply to around 10ish schools. And something like 95% of our students go to college.</p>
<p>We do, however, have a wall (forget what it's called) where you can post a shape (forgot what the shape was... some kind of animal maybe?) with your name and school you got into. It's in the guidance office, so people just stand there and read all the things. Ultimate time-waster.</p>
<p>My friend's sister lied to her parents about getting into Harvard early. They weren't too pleased when they found out. That's all I know about it though.</p>
<p>our gc compiles the list for us and emails it</p>
<p>why does this matter so much? sure it can be annoying when people lie about where they got in, i completely understand because ive ran into few people like that too. But i think that it is almost as frustrating to see this thread.. i'm sure a lot of those people feel pressured to lie because OTHERS brag about their SATS, acceptance letters, and are afraid of being looked down upon. a lot of "smart" kids who get high SATs and gpas and what have you tend to question other kids who they see as being not as smart, because they may not have gotten above a 4.0, when if fact, many people are capable of bringing a lot of other unique attributes to the table.....sooo.. before you question somebody else's intelligence, capability, or whatever, consider that they may perhaps have other things to offer besides a 2350. I'm just saying that a lot of people get sucked into this ordeal that you're smart and deserving of a "good" college like harvard or NYU (or other colleges you guys have mentioned) only if you get the highest scores, but it's not all about that.</p>
<p>whew, i definitely went on a tangent.</p>
<p>"College is so much pressure from so many different angles."</p>
<p>Oh for God's sake. If you can't handle this process, then how do you plan on going through the rest of life? Applying for jobs, grad school, raising children? It's no excuse to lie. </p>
<p>BTW the person I quoted isn't the target of my comment, and this whole process wasn't all that easy to me as money was a huge issue ;-)</p>
<p>Had to vent...</p>
<p>Matt</p>
<p>my mom told me to tell people i got waitlisted at Duke instead of rejected. ::sigh::. I didn't though. What's the point?</p>
