Don't Lie About Your Transcript

A Cornell alum faces up to 5 years in prison for lying about her undergraduate GPA and dental test scores in order to receive over $40,000 in scholarships and financial aid:

The New Orleans Times-Picayune said Thursday that Obialunamma Agubuzu admitted in U.S. District Court to obtaining school enrollment and financial aid by incorrectly claiming to have a high Dental Admission Test score and a 4.0 undergraduate grade point average.

Authorities said Agubuzu actually graduated from Cornell University in 2007 with a grade point average of 2.452 and had never even taken the Dental Admission Test.

She was enrolled in LSU's school of dentistry.
