If it's a lie about anything substantial enough that it would have an impact on your application chances? You'll get caught. They can check references; they can read between the lines in letters of recommendation and your essays; they can reach out to alumni or personal connections in your field and ask about you or the type of work you've done; they can grill you about the scope of your responsibilities during your interview. And while I don't know that they'd put you on any kind of formal blacklist, they certainly communicate with each other, and might feel the need to pass along to your current employer and references that you've been stretching the truth. It's just not worth it.

Hopefully the school will find out and reject you. We don't need unethical people holding the degree. It's best to be honest and earn the degree honestly. You may get away with it at some school, but eventually your poor ethics will catch up with you. Look at all the high level executives and politicians that are now serving jail sentences. Most MBA programs prefer students with 2-3 years work experience after the first degree, but many accept students right out of college if they have good grades and a high GMAT score. Some MBA programs are designed specifically for new college graduates without work experience.so there is no need to lie; you only have to find the program in which you can fit honestly. Consult the Official MBA Guide. It's a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, executive, and accelerated), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their accreditation status, tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. Schools provide data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, joint degrees, and much more. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. It's the best service available at http://officialmbaguide.org.

Nothing will happen. Schools want your money. They also want their class to have a certain profile. If they lack applicants with your profile, you will get in no matter what lies you tell. Given the high rate of unemployment, there are more applicants today than in years past. This is in spite of the job prospects at graduation and the likely decrease in expected compensation. Also there is a decrease in scholarship money so be prepared to pony up more of the bill. Last, don't bother with schools outside the top 10. The overwhelming majority of graduates from programs outside the top 10 are either under or simply unemployed ... with a huge debt. So be aware that what you get in return for a successful lie may not necessarily be what you want to have.
