Unsubstantiated claims in PS
Posted: Wed Mar 03, 2010 3:09 am
Hello,
In my PS, I mention what I think are some pretty cool and unique softs.
Some of my story is verifiable from Google searches, but the coolest parts (removed to sound less douchey) are not. How much is this worth to them? I mean, anyone could say anything. And otherwise I'm a borderline, but not altogether laughable, candidate at many 20-40 schools just by the numbers.
I'm wondering how stupid it would be to contact the admissions staff and ask them if they want me to send email chains to provide evidence for my claims. Surely someone on this board has thought of this broader issue. Any experience with this?
