RSS FeedTip: Don’t Use Fake Degree to Apply to Law School
Okay all you eager undergrads who read our site faithfully, here is the best tip we could ever give you regarding your law school applications.
Do not, under any circumstances, try to use a fake degree to apply to law school. Chances are it will catch up with you eventually.
Quami Frederick made it all the way to her third year in Osgoode Hall before the Toronto Star found her out. She was even scheduled to article at Wilboer Dellelce next year, the firm that has no billable hours, their own building, and a gym inside the office.
She had applied to Osgoode with a B.Sc. in Business Administration from St. George’s University in Grenada. The university exists, her degree does not.
She was one of the 290 students accepted from the 2,500 that applied that year. But when your degree is fake, grade inflation probably isn’t a major issue.
Fredrick is one of many people The Star uncovered as using a degree from a diploma mill, where a fake degree is forged from a real university, or an entirely fake university is created. (No Steyn, that’s not an option for you either)
Chances are Fredrick won’t be able to finish her law degree this year given her admission was premised on a false academic background. She also probably fails to meet the values expressed on her firm’s website,
Our firm’s greatest strengths are its people and the environment of care and mutual respect that they have created for one another. It goes without saying that to be a success in the Bay Street legal world, you must possess intelligence, integrity, dedication, some common sense and you must work very hard.
The upside is that Wildeboer Dellelce probably has an opening right now if you’re your third year and looking for a place to article in Toronto.
