I think lying is always a bad idea - on your resume, application or life in general. Don't forget that some schools use companies that perform a background check on you and everything you wrote in the application.

Re: Lying on Resume [#permalink]
Thanks all for helping.
Since I have already paid, I am stuck with him. :(
I told him that I won't lie, even though that makes my app weaker. He has reluctantly agreed and said I might stain his track record.
I am least bothered about him now. But advise for others, while evaluating consultants tell them how much you are willing to lie beforehand.

As a note - you should be able to withdraw any portion of your payment for services unrendered. Any reputable firm should have a policy that handles that. For example, our Terms & Conditions stipulate termination of services, initiated by the client, are entitled to a full refund for any prorated amount for services that haven't begun or been rendered yet. If he's that worried about his track record, he shouldn't have a problem with this.

What a bunch of crap. Get a new admissions consultant (or go without) ASAP. There are plenty of reputable ones that post here.

Re: Lying on Resume [#permalink]
I fully agree that you should not lie in any circumstance. But there are diferente ways you can address your accomplishments in your resumé.
Imagine for instance two sushi restaurants, one right next to the other and with the same food and service quality. One advertisse the restaurant like "We sell raw, cold fish", and the other "Come and have the greatest japanese food in the area!". Neither is telling any lies, but for sure the second one will be more succesful.
My point is: i'm sure that in your professional career you've participated in a number of different projects; but sometimes you don't give yourself enough credit for the things you did. It is common to think of your accomplishments as "ordinary". I suggest you talk to your current supervisor and ask for a feedback of your strenghts and how important was your role during a specific project. This should strenghten your resume quit a lot, because you be much more aware of your role inside the organization.


And yeah, you should leave your current admissions consultant asap! =)
