I recently received an offer letter from a reputable company for a position I was really excited about. After accepting the offer, I was informed that I needed to submit my academic transcript. The issue is that I dropped out a year ago and hadn't updated my resume to reflect that. Now I'm in a tough spot because I can't provide a transcript, and I'm considering faking one, but I'm worried about the potential consequences if I get caught. I'm looking for advice on how to handle this situation. They mentioned that I don't need a completed degree, just a transcript, but I can't provide one. I've seen some comments suggesting that I should just send whatever transcript I have and say my degree is still in progress, but I'm not sure if that's the best route. I really don't want to jeopardize this opportunity, but I'm also concerned about being honest and what that might mean for my job offer.
