<p>no, they won’t be able to tell. However, I wouldn’t want to live with the thought that I lied on my college application and that if someone found out, I would have my degree, etc. revoked.</p>
<p>They can auto reject you … if they find out after you have enrolled they can kick you out … if they find out after you graduate they can rescind your degree. I seriously doubt they would do eaither of the last two … but restated you’re asking what will these schools do if you lied on your application trying to manipulate your admissions chances; if you’re thinking about lying in your application then you should be willing to face the consequences if you get caught.</p>
