Often, on this forum, many of us have told applicants to be honest, not to exaggerate, etc. You never know when these falsehoods will come to haunt you.
So folks…whatever the reason is here for this Yale student….you don’t want it to be you. Be totally honest about what your have done, where you are from…everything.
Honestly really is the best policy. And it’s something colleges value (as does society in general…in most cases).
