Sometimes I feel I'm not in a good school

<p>Hi everybody!</p>

<p>I am from Air Force School, Gorakhpur. Whoever reading my thread, please guide me what should I do.</p>

<p>Well, my friends and I, are busy preparing our drafts of college essays. But the most awkward thing I’ve come across is that everyone is seizing other’s achievements. I mean, I’m the captain of my school’s football team but I happened to see they have written it under their ‘ECs’??? The worst matter it that even the class toppers are in those fake categories!!</p>

<p>The factor would be more ridiculous if we are applying at the same university. I have decided to bring the whole scenario to our Principle and talked to my other friends too but they said that last year too, the same thing happened and was so lightly taken that it was all futile. They told me that I would be better copying them than making more enemies in the same pond.</p>

<p>Now, I seriously want to ask- do admission officers really check it or they just only read it and let the fake go (as told by my other friends)?</p>

<p>Please feel free to share your honest comments.</p>

<p>You can’t worry about others. You do what is right. If you are the captain of the school team, say so. Maybe you can have your teacher mention that in his/her recommendation as well. I have read that top schools will check ECs and call after admitted. I think one of the previous admits had mentioned that they sent a letter to principal and called to verify ECs.
So if you are telling the truth, you dont have to worry. Let others do what they want to do. If they want to take the risk, let them.</p>
