Have you lied in your personal statement?

Have you ever lied or even 'twisted the truth' in your personal statement? If yes, have you been caught? I was just wondering if anyone ever did lie! and what happens afterward!

I didint lie nor do I know anyone who has lied because its just common sense not to but I think if you were to lie the university would probably tell - they wouldnt accuse you with anything but they probably would follow up on it in the interview and ask you a ton of questions on the "lie" to suss you out.

...I think.

No, I've told the complete truth but I will imagine a lot will stretch it. I will have to go for an interview so they may ask about it, so I thought it was best not to lie on it. I haven't finished my personal statement yet :biggrin:

. Also, I lied on my CV a lot and it backfired epically. Don't want to make the same mistake again :tongue:
