[@yuliaaaaaaaaaaa]

DUDE 💀💀💀

[@gloobs4913]

Everyone gets in clemson

[@shhhyourtooloud257]

NAHHH LMAOOO, embellishments on essays are typical but this is crazyyy

[@shrishkapoor206]

Basically, you could finesse your activities but you can not fake your GPA

[@michaeln.2383]

USC asks about disciplinary action and tries to convince the applicant that it won't be used against them and that they just want to know. But I think they're trying to trick the applicant into revealing things that won't actually be checked and that it will be used against them to reject their application.

[@AvaF1919]

Quite a few of the applications I have filled out ask about that. I don't know why they do, but it's a typical question.

[@chococripta9224]

What is disciplinary action?

[@michaeln.2383]

@@chococripta9224 Usually, someone fights backs against a bully and gets suspended. Another common suspension is getting caught leaving campus during lunchtime.

[@jerm2122]

What other activities can I put in my applications outside if school. Since I never did any activities in school

[@olove7038]

Shes just tryna scare y’all.they dont check every single application

[@gianinayao321]

What if you accidentally input the wrong grade would it be possible to correct this mistake after submitting it?

[@bobaaddict5553]

contact the admissions office or whoever's going look at your app!! it's best to let them know and be honest

[@Koodoos]

Yes. Send an email to the AO you’re assigned or the admissions email. I’ve seen schools fix the issue or add a note to the application for readers.

[@ventixlv]

Hi; I was recently informed of a detail concerning the grading system in France, and of my school institution. Apparently, my courses are all considered honors classes (that I was not aware of), and my GPA seems to be now a little higher than the one I filled out which does not put the best out of me. I have already sent out my application to other schools, but I would like to know if I 'm allowed to change information on my common app.

[@serenamukoko815]

Hello, je suis aussi française et je ne savais pas non plus que nos cours étaient considérés comme “honors classes”. Du coup je voulais savoir comme tu as su et surtout comment tu as pu calculer ton GPA s’il te plaît ? Merci

[@MrKobeMonster]

just tryna get that 1.2 gpa to go to a 3.9 real quick

[@imgaryrb]

Frrrr

[@yashvipatel7521]

what do i do if my counselor forgot to upload my junior year transcript and one letter of recommendation also he submitted it i dont know what to do now I am an international student so my counselor didnt know much about the application and made a mistake:(

[@Koodoos]

Submit the transcript yourself via email to the admissions office/r if possible. I've seen colleges add these types of amendments directly to the applicant profile/application before it is assessed.

[@acchen7458]

So lesson of the story, is just don’t lie! It’s not hard, just don’t lie. Irs not hard, just don’t lie, it’s not hard, just don’t lie!

[@nonecker7479]

Thats pretty hard when everyone is lying

[@jessicadu6103]

I know is pretty late to say but I don’t know who can help me but I took a summer course in community college last year “just for fun”, but for many reasons I ended up a F, I sent all my community college transcripts to my new university on Monday, and obviously there is a F, but not an A-G requirement class, and my senior year transcript is pretty decent… I haven’t eat anything yet for two days now, I think I’m having a heart attack. Do I need to call the admissions office cuz I really don’t know what to do rn ( I supposed to drop that class last summer but it was too late at that time)

[@MatureMonster]

great vid bruh thank you, but what if i lie about the adversity i had to face and i make up some other lies on my letter. and what college were you workin with. nice vid bro

[@Koodoos]

Never lie. It's not worth it if the school ever finds out. I've worked for UW and UCSD.

[@be2402]

Bro🤨🤨🤔🤔🤔

[@obsidaisy7776]

There is no reason to tell the truth when the question is a lie.

[@king-qi2ks]

What if I put that I ran track and cross country for 4 years in high school, but I don’t want to continue it in college?? Should I still mention that I did those sports? And does it give me any better chance of getting accepted?

[@lulwa6153]

hey, I'm an international student and all my activities are in another language, do you think that the admission officers would think I'm lying because they will not be able to find info about my activities online ?

[@thiagogregory1]

GREAT QUESTION! I'm an international student too

[@naois]

i would also like to know!

[@abdiwahidmohamed7516]

me too

[@JustAnotherLokiStan]

Most students wouldn't lie about major activities, so even if it isn't on the internet it wouldn't matter because any student who's mature enough to realize the consequences of fabrication wouldn't do anything stupid. If the college considers accepting you and wants a verification, they'll probably contact you or your school for documents or anything else that you can provide them with, as proof. I am having trouble with the exact same thing- I was a recording artist for the All India Radio for a few years, but since those were for programs and not separately for albums or stuff like that, it's not on the internet (I think. I might be able to dig up a few links to the programs? Idk) so I was very confused. In any case, I read up and this is what I concluded. So you don't have to worry about your activity not being on the internet as long as you personally have documents to prove it.

[@jaredjefferson4204]

Would making the all state band give me a better chance of getting in?

[@zomb7138]

Not necessairly

[@haleefit1]

What if I don’t report each school I went to . Will they find out ?

[@sebasvallejos魏提安]

What if I made a typing mistake in the number of participants of the National Math Olympiad. I am from Paraguay and I got 1st in that, and I put it on my Common App of course, but I accidentally put one cero more. It had to be like this: "Gold medal, Math Nationals (x2). Ranked 1st out of 45,000 participants" But I put 450,000 instead. I hace already contacted my admissions officer to inform him about it. Was it the correct thing to do? I really did not mean to do that or exaggerate. I also attached to that email a photo with the gold medallists to give them proof of my honor.

[@Aubrey-vt2xz]

Hey, Which college did you get accepted to?

[@Joy_nails]

Great video I must say ❤ But I was desperately I need of a transcript so I purchased one online for $500

[@alenauka5445]

Did u get caught?

[@acchen7458]

Can you say you did x,y,z even though you only did x?

[@xxyz6350]

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭

[@rafsanbinhossain9261]

Do they look for certifate ??

[@mangayaro1228]

what if my college is closed down how are they gonna verify

[@anveshatiwari9100]

What if a school doesn't have a Counselor at all !!! Who is gonna answer for transcript? And what abt community Services how do they verify that? Ive done 1or 2 and what about internship???

[@wlcsp]

What about the race question ? Should I leave them blank ?

[@jackelynosorio4692]

I accidentally added a college course I was not taking do you think it will affect my admission to the schools I’ve applied too.

[@JustAnotherLokiStan]

Sorry to squash your hopes, but I think it will. If you can, IMMEDIATELY contact the admissions office and tell them there's been a small error in your application. They'll probably not penalize you then. But if you ignore the matter and they find out later, even if you get accepted, you might be rescinded. Don't take a risk, email/call them for help ASAP.

[@user-jb4ei7rw7p]

Do universities check for plagiarism in LOR? I have got 2. One is 100% genuine. For the other one I was asked to send the draft by myself and I did copy paste some lines from Google 😐

[@뽕뿡쁑]

how your extracurricular?

[@NASALunarLight]

I misread 2700 apps as “2700 AP’s.” 😂😂😂😂😂
