I would like to ask some Machivellian questions. Please do not reply with any moral BS because I don't care. Although I do care about ethics, I believe the end justifies the means (please do not counter this because this is NOT the point of the thread).
I can't help but believe that SOME MBA students cheat their way into MBA schools. After all, besides GMAT and GPA you can falsify just about anything (Essay and work experience). What I would like to do know is what percentage of students actually get away with cheating on admissions? Right now, I think almost all of them do.
Specifically, I would like to know if
1)Omitting schools attendance can be caught? For example, if I had attended schools A and B, and received Bachelor with both, can I just omit my records from school B and just send transcripts from school A and not B? Will financial Aid information from school B catch up and bite me?
2)Writing my own Essays can be caught? Can I falsify the name, title, and even the phone number? I actually can get good references, but I would like to know how many times this is being done and if anyone ever get caught?

Whatever you do, don't tell anyone. Girlfriend/boyfriend best friend, bartender etc.
I know a guy that had someone take his GMAT's for him, was accepted to an Ivy MBA program and ended up having to take the test again to confirm the score(this time he really had to take it).
He got the score he needed but should have kept his mouth shut.
