Hi i'm from chile i'm currentry on my second year of college, and once i finish college, maybe a few years after that, i want to get to a top mba school in the usa, so i want to start building a good CV from now already.
But the question i've been pondering about is: what stops other candidates from lying, or "bending the facts and truths", in their essays, and even in the recommendation's letters, by writing them themselves and then asking someone close to them to claim to be the author of it.
Does the MBA admission counsil asks for proofs of the affirmations written in the essays and recommendations? If it doesn't, then i guess the application proccess is (at least in the writing about yourself part) just a matter of who knows how to self promote himself better and more convincingly.
Don't get me wrong here, i'm not trying to do it myself, but the way i figure, if other candidates do it, they will have a huge advantage over me and i will be compelled to do it too...
How does all this matter works? I'm surprised i haven't seen many topics on it, i think it's either because no one thinks about it (in this case i suppose i am the twisted mind here
) or because most people already do it and just don't talk about it..
