As college admissions becomes more competitive, more students are tempted to stretch the truth on their admission applications to appear as more attractive applicants. However, I know from first hand that more schools are taking measures to validate the information included on their applicants applications. The article The Admissions Police talks about this growing problem and the measures that some schools are going to perform background checks on their applicants.
The moral to the story, tell the truth on your college application, do not even try to stretch the truth. Your entire future could take a very different path as a result of your decision to include false information on an application, and you get caught. Remember there are ways to creatively write essays, and include information that will get the attention of admission reviewers that doesn't incorporate false information. If you need help, contact a professional admission consultant who can help you with this.
