<p>I have a decent shot. But every day, I meet people like those in the post above who go absolutely out of their way to bs. I know the feel. </p>
<p>All I can say is, by faking stuff, you can’t get standardized scores, and your ECs can only be raised to a nominal level. Even if you fake everything, you will come across as moderately good in every field. But you can never fake your way to being the best at anything.</p>
