No one's going to throw you in prison for not being honest on a college application (assuming your not under oath or otherwise made aware it is a testimonial) if that's what you mean. But as another poster mentioned, it is possible they may kick you out if they should discover it later.
Note that this doesn't apply to applications to federal or state agencies for aid or loans (i.e. the FAFSA). As I recall those documents do require an oath or affirmation, and you can be fined for false statements.
