What's the most pathetic thing you've seen someone do with regards to college admissions?

I mean "pathetic" in both the pitiful sense and the morally shameful/contemptible/ignominious sense. Stuff like trying (and failing) to cheat on the PSAT/NMSQT by taping a cheat sheet to your calculator. Or like bragging that your dad created his own "internship" position for you at the company he works at to help you get into college, then getting into heated arguments with people when they tell you that's not gonna impress admissions officers.
