I think all applicants exaggerate to some extent. When schools ask people to introspect and at the same time talk about qualities they look for in applicants, it is not suprising that folks view their past in rose-tinted glasses. Nostalgia is a pretty strong drug(that can make people hallucinate 
.
I also think that succes in B-school and in the workplace will to a large extent depend on how you present and brand yourselves (aka) how well you exaggerate. I am sure you have all encountered those people at work who do better than others despite not having the same work ethics or intelligence. This is just a fact of life. That said, I think the safest way to effectively exaggerate is by sticking to the truth as much as possible.

I'd consider any exaggeration in resume or application unethical. Presenting things in best light is a gray area that is intermixed with stretching the truth all the time, and some of the stories on this thread confirm that.
Many people whose job does not directly involve finance and have to put an approximate dollar number to show the impact of their accomplishments exaggerate. Some online profiles suggest that many of them own an accomplishment as their own even when about hundreds of people may have worked to accomplish it.
