My daughter mentioned that a person at her school joked to some kids about "exaggerating" on her college applications. I don't care about that or have any interest in the specifics, but it did make me wonder. How does a school know whether the info. on an application is true or not?
If someone completely fabricated community service, job experience, clubs, etc., how would a school know this given that they may get 50k+ applications? Aside from test scores and transcripts, much of the info. would not be convenient to verify.
To head off any possible negative comments - no, I do not recommend doing this.
