How do colleges know that I'm not lying about my extracurricular activities?

<p>Hopefully, people have the decency and strong enough morals to tell the truth on their apps. I don’t think you need to send any proof, which I guess it is kind of a bad thing because people could technically lie, but it would be kinda tough to get proof for all your activities. I can totally picture one of my friends lying/major exaggerating on her app.</p>
