Do the college admissions find out that you are lying?

Applying to College

<p>I intern in my school’s guidance office and I see the applications before they go out, which is how I found out about the whole thing. I thought it was a bit suspicious that a particular teacher wrote her a letter when he hadn’t ever had her in class until a few months before the applications went out (we’ve had the same classes all four years.) I still don’t understand why he would lie for her, period, but who knows?
[as well as her real SAT scores–I looked up her file after I saw the letter and noticed the lie. She told everyone in our class that she got a 650 in math on her SAT, when she really got a 450…so long ivys (and anywhere but a state school.)]</p>

<p>You can’t write a letter. You have no proof. You were illegally viewing files.</p>

<p>I can’t just write a letter to Harvard and say, “Inkaholic shouldn’t get in because s/he is a liar even though I don’t know for sure.”</p>

23

<p>inkaholic, you’re incredibly childish, bordering pathetic neckbeard.</p>

24

<p>Why the heck would you send a letter telling the college that someone lied? That’s awfully childish/immature.</p>

25

<p>why write a letter when colleges are going to see the 450 sat and deny her anyways. plus your invading her privacy, thats not cool no matter how stuck up she is.</p>

<p>I am really suprised that your school allows this because many schools don’t allow students to intern in the guidance office because of the confidenial nature of the information that passes through the office in addition as you have just demonstrated it represents a conflict of interest.</p>

<p>“I intern in my school’s guidance office and I see the applications before they go out, which is how I found out about the whole thing.”</p>

<p>If what you say is true, your having that kind of access puts your h.s. at risk of invasion of privacy lawsuits by students . It’s very hard for me to believe that any h.s. would allow a student that kind of access to students’ records.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>And you say SHE lacks integrity?</p>

29

<p>Yeah, inkaholic, that really would be incredibly immature of you.</p>

<p>Well back to the subject…
In a nutshell, the conclusion from this thread, all the numerous threads before it is:
A small lie will possibly not get caught but won’t help you anyway. Whatever can help you even a little can be easily checked out(gotta love google).</p>
