What if...?
Hello,
You recently answered my question about lying on my college application and what I should do. I wanted to ask you, what if I made up for my lie by actually repairing over 50 homes before I start school? Will that make up for it?
thank you for answering my question.

Technically you still lied. However, I think that repairing over 50 homes before school would be a great step. In fact, that's probably the best step you could make at this point. Admitting to what you did would be very honest and arguably the right thing. However, at most only one person could gain something out of that opotion (the person who takes your place with the scholarship). By making up for the lie by repairing 50 homes, you'll help, well, 50 families. Plus, as a fringe benefit, you'll still be able to get the education you desire.
So, yes, I think that you should take the route that you described above. And learn from this -- next time take the actions you describe BEFORE you talk about them. =]
