<p>Hi. I’ve already applied to SUNY binghamton. This school doesn’t require teacher recommendation but there is an option to send one if you want. Can I assign my teacher to this school even though this application has already reached them?</p>
<ol>
<li>My mother finished master degree here in Poland but my father just finished High School. I know that being a first generation student might be a nice hook in some schools. I’m just curious how are those information about my parents education verified?</li>
</ol>
<p>You do have a mentality problem. You should follow the rule instead of finding out if you can lie safely. There are many things that the school may not be able to verify easily. Such as number of volunteering hours, number attempts for any test, extracurricular activities, and even some honors. Lying about those are basically like cheating in a test.</p>
<p>1.You won’t be able to edit an application that has already been submitted, even if it’s just to add an invitation to a teacher recommender. You’ll need the teacher to submit the recommendation either by snail mail or email. </p>
<p>You seem aware that you are not first-gen, but you are asking about the chances that you’ll get caught in a lie about that fact. You have posted this question publicly. If any SUNY-Binghamton admin officers read this forum, you can bet they’ll be on the alert for a Polish applicant who claims to be first gen.</p>
<p>I just want to point out that I didn’t lie on my common app profile. I wast just curious how this verification works. Thank you niceday for explaining that teacher recommendation thing.</p>
<p>You should also be aware for future applications that US schools do fact check international applications in a variety of ways. Lying puts you at risk of rejection or worse, revocation of an acceptance or disciplinary action if the lie isn’t discovered until later.</p>
