Why lie on your application? Colleges can find out and then you won’t even be considered. They can also inform other schools. What kind of life do you want to have if you need to lie to get into a college?

On the other hand, you can start now to do other activities that would be meaningful to yourself and your community. Volunteering at your local library (a big hit in my surrounding communities) or helping coach a youth sport, or tutoring in the local Junior high , are all things that show YOUR initiative, rather than signing on to someone else’s organization- such as Habitat.
