[quote=Anonymous]You can make up any damn thing you want because they have no way of checking it.  College essay is the best thing in your application because you can 100% lie.  The lie should not be the lie that you get caught on. In other words, don't say you got an A in calc when you didn't. Don't say you tutored poor kids, when you could not write in activity list that you were a tutor.

My SIL works in a company that writes college essays and basically she made up complete BS for common app and college essays. Just complete BS.  It is entirely fake.  I am so pissed that we were so stressed during this process last year when my kid was applying for college.

What was your motivation? What was the obstacle? Most significant moment? Who changed your life?  All of this is pure and utter BS lies. Make up as you go.  They do not admit you because of your essays.  They admit you because of GPA, SAT, ECs, work experience, internship, accolades, SES and whoever they want to take - legacy, athletes, some balancing demographics, some nerds, some jocks...
