<p>As ses said, minor positions don’t really matter. Furthermore most colleges (outside the 100 or so most in demand) accept most if not all of their applicants. So ECs hardly matter at all for most schools. </p>
<p>nd at large schools that do care (such as the UC system) they have instituted a random verification policy in which you’ll have to prove what you said is true if you are audited.</p>
<p>In the end its kinda ironic. Your friends are going to get into the colleges they applied to since most are not very selective, then they will tell themselves they got in because of their cheating on the recs.</p>
