Lying about college admission decisions?

I’m not going to answer that question because I don’t understand why you are so upset and even want to lie. It’s no one’s business as to which schools have accepted and declined you so if you don’t want to share that information, that is up to you. However, the way it can work in certain social circles is that everyone does share, and you can really look bad if you decline to answer or lie and get caught. Other than a blow to your pride, I don’t see the harm done as you have been accepted to your first choice school and you can only go to one college. It’s really a bit ironic and funny, and my kids would have really played on that. When it hurts so much that one can’t discuss it is when top choices decline you and you don’t have anywhere to go that you like at all. That’s why I hate this “which colleges have accepted you” question that you seniors get. it is a sore point for many. But not for you. Congratulations in getting into the college of your choice.
