In Reply To: I dn't know what firms you are talking about but the big strategy ones (BCG, Monitor,. McK etc) and the Big 5 ask for transcripts. So do MMG, and kaearney. What you are doing is not only unethical but dangerous and illegal. You can easily be caught and fired or never hired. Trust me, if you are found lying you will NEVER have a chance (these stories spread pretty fast).
Message: What if you omit information? I went to law school and putting that on a resume would make me overqualified or it isn't relevant to certain positions because I work in IT Consulting. I've never tried it even though it has crossed my mind. Is that traceable?
