Applying for colleges is a long and lengthy process. Often, students feel compelled to exaggerate their accomplishments in order to impress the admission officers. Too much exaggeration, however, can lead to suspicion. For University of California admissions, there is a team of auditors that verify select student’s applications. The students are chosen at random and asked to validate their claims written in their application. Although only one percent of UC applicants are selected, students should always be able to validate information on his or her application. In some cases, applicants do not choose to respond to the auditors’ request. As for others, there are tickets, certificates, plaques, etc that are sent in. Even though not every application is checked, it is necessary for an auditing system to be used. College applicants must remember that honesty will always be the best policy when applying for universities.
