Hey CC ppl

I am very at the moment because I just found out that my friend blatantly lied on his application, especially on the resume.

We go to a relatively small international school in Malaysia and sadly we applied to the same unis. We are both international students.

He included a lot of things like regional honor bands, regional competitions and awards and regional sports teams that ppl can’t really find out when they google them. I tried googling some of the things on his resume but i couldn’t find anything to prove that he was lying… He also lied that he was the president of a few major clubs because he knew that the actual presidents of those clubs weren’t applying to the U.S… His GPA and SATs are also relatively high so it’s not like a low GPA/SAT kid doing so many activities in school (that would seem like a lie), but the things is that his activity choices all make sense!!! Moreover, he forged a British A-Level certificate (straight A’s) and gave it to the councelor so that the councelor can write an amazing rec for him. I think he also wrote the British A-Level exams on the resume like how he self-studied and earned an A.

I lived in Malaysia for more than 10 years. I know almost everything about this country and ive never even heard of some of the fabrications on his resume.
So, will the American adcoms who never lived in Malaysia have any idea about this? Or will they just reject me and accept my friend who probably has the best ECs on the planet? (btw his stats are almost the same as mine). Btw we are both international students and attend a small international school in Malaysia. He’s seriously an expert…He’s cheated since he was born and never got caught once until now. Im literally going crazy atm. It’s my dream school that we are both competing for.

I really hope he gets caught somehow or the other… Any ideas? Will the adcoms find all these fabrications out?
