<p>As someone who has worked in corporate recruitment for about 20 years, I can tell you that cheating on your college apps would be a big mistake. It's a bad habit - and if you get away with it once, you'll be tempted to try it again. I can promise you that if you lie on a resume or an application form for a job, you will be found out. Either you will not get the job or you will get fired after the company finds out that you misrepresented yourself. And rightly so!</p>
