In Reply To: I??m in a HUGE dilemma. Firstly please NO moral filled replies, I know I screwed up. Basically I have been hired by a Big Five firm for several months now, but I don??t start until September. They??ve done all the background checks etc, and they have sent me their laptop. Problem is in a moment of absolute stupidity I sent in a photocopy of my transcript which had some grades ??changed??. Basically I raised by GPA from a B minus to a B plus. WHAT SHOULD I DO? I have to quit my current job in one month if I am to make the change because I have to go back to summer school to make up 6 courses (they know about this). Assuming I get all A??s in these 6 courses, hand in a real transcript which will included these grades when I start, do you think anything will happen? Has anyone heard of people getting charged for this? I love the job that??s been offered to me. Do you think they will notice? I have no idea what to do, I know I messed up but this is my dream job. Do I take the gamble or face the music now? ANY ADVICE? Thanks in advance.
