[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can colleges tell if you actually worked hard throughout high school?? For example, if you get good grades but go to a really easy school? Or if you win a bunch of phony violin competitions or whatever? Just curious…[/quote]

No, they can't.  As long as you do not make up stuff that is extremely well known.  If you make up stuff that is not googlable then you are fine.  You can lie in your essays, get your essays written by someone else, make up your non-academic accomplishments etc.

The only thing that you should not lie about is your GPA, courses you take, SAT scores etc. because these get verified by the school or college board.

Now, let's talk about phony violin competitions.  You will basically need to hold a "phony violin completion".  Have a bunch of your non-violin playing friends participate in a completion you create, participate in it, create a website and YouTube videos about the completion, win the competition and then write about it.  You can certainly do that. [/quote]
