Lying is wrong and you shouldn’t do it.
But it’s also nuts to get all worked up for getting rejection letters. If the threads on CC teach anything, it’s that the college admissions process involves a huge amount of chance. The process is far from scientific and objective and at a certain level, you just cannot take the outcome personally. It’s a lot like the rest of life in that respect, you can work just as hard and be just as dedicated as the next guy, and not get the girl/job/raise/promotion etc.
