Those are other great points! Yeah, as if my high school has any record of my transcript. After maybe a decade at most, that's about as relevant to an HS grad's life as their shoe size at the time.

I wouldn't personally lie about it, because 1) I'm not going to lie, and 2) I do not want any job where my coworkers are rewarded for lying. But for anyone who just wants to get in and extract some salary while it's there for the taking, morals be damned, that would be the obvious course of action.
