Fake community service hrs?

^ easier said than done.

I could say right now that I volunteer 5 hours every weekend (instead of my real 2) and have volunteered for, say 10 months. That’s 30 more hours and an ENTIRE DAY worth of volunteering added to my resume. Colleges can’t pick that up and say I’m lying – it’s too hard to disprove or figure out. Multiply that by 3 more activities and you have one BS of a resume.

Of course, I refuse to lie anywhere in my apps. It’s a moral thing for me, and also something that I know will plague me if I actually get into Stanford or whatever based on a profile that isn’t honest. A kid from our school got a TERRIBLE rep for that…and everyone knows him as “the guy who cheated his way into Stanford”.
