Wrong info in LOCI?

Post by georgia32 » Tue May 29, 2012 1:25 pm

I wrote my LOCI and at the time I thought I had graduated cum laude because I had the asterisks next to my name in the graduation pamphlet, but now I am not so sure. It looks like I might have been .04 under it. Should I e-mail the school correcting my LOCI?

The state bar will get a copy of your app. Might raise some questions if your degree doesn't have latin honors, but your application claimed them.

Frame your graduation pamphlet & hide the degree in a desk drawer.

This is TLS sarcasm for "Don't worry about it"

No that was not sarcasm. I would be legitimately concerned. People care about this stuff. I know someone that had earned the equivalent of Magna, but his/her school called it something different. S/he put down magna on his/her resume and a firm noticed the discrepancy after a callback and dinged him/her for it. And that person actually earned the honor, but just called it something different. Don't mess around with honors in any way.
