Do colleges really verify everything you say....

I asked HS counselor how can she verified activities that are outside of school like piano for example, she said they rarely check, she only had to verify once, but if they do she figure a way. The reason I asked because my D’s piano teacher is not that healthy, could be gone anyday now.

I also read some girl that wrote an essay about doing some charity work in Honduras but in reality she did. She did get into the college of her choice. So they do not always find out.

But I think it’s an ethical question.
