Will schools verify things on the common app?

For the activities section, I said I may be selected for the county team for one of my activities(quiz bowl), but it’s still early in the season. My coach actually did tell me this, so it’s true. But will colleges verify it because they think it’s weird I am implying the future? It’s not even a big deal activity, but it would just be embarrassing if my coach was contacted. What I said is true, but I don’t want to be called out for putting it on there.

If you said “may be,” then nothing to worry about. If you said “selected,” well, that wasn’t the smartest thing to do since it hadn’t actually happened yet, but I doubt it will matter. Something as minor as a county quiz bowl team isn’t likely to sway your admission either way.

@marvin100 yea i said maybe…it is very minor, but I just would be embarrassed if it was followed up on because my coach would ask me about it and so would teammates since only one person can go

If you’re worried about it, just take it off. Go with your gut. As long as it’s factually accurate it shouldn’t matter. Either way its not a major selling point so they may not care.

Yea I took it off now for future but I already sent it out multiple times

Don’t lose sleep over it. Try to enjoy your senior year if you can.
