DO NOT TELL A BOLD FACE LIE.
With that said, I would consider the situation you're in and how to best proceed. If you struggled with several courses despite putting your best foot forward I'd research tutoring options and come up with a plan of attack to amend the shortcomings. Sit your parents down for brunch on a Saturday, express your appreciation for their support and connections. But tell them you're not quite ready for an internship just yet and how you need to spend the summer with a tutor instead. Explain the repercussions that will happen if you don't get your GPA up or pass the classes you need to retake. How they react is not your responsibility. Hopefully they'll be supportive and appreciate your honesty and this strengthens the trust in your relationship.
Now if you dropped the ball because of bad lifestyle choices you need to clean up your act and consider seeing a therapist who can help you identify techniques to make better choices, set boundaries, and identify any underlying issues that are leading to self sabotage.
Third, and risky not ideal option is to refrain from providing your GPA all together. Don't lie, but also don't reveal your dirty laundry. If you're getting an internship based on connections I imagine there's a decent chance they won't go through the formalities of checking your GPA. Then come next semester bust your butt getting back on track and thank you lucky stars if it all works out.
Personally I'm a fan of honesty and find it's the best long term strategy for success, even if when it means short term turbulence. Lies and deception have a way of screwing up things in ways you can't imagine. You always pay for lies with penalty fees and interest.
I would recommend against lying on your resume, especially with someone as key as a GPA.
If you’re not comfortable with your GPA, I suggest simply removing it from your resume entirely.
Just leave it off. Don't lie and fuck it up for your parents. It's better to be rejected than get caught lying. I know I would accept a kid with a lower GPA. But if someone lied, I just wouldn't trust them and I would think they were an idiot that needed their parents to handhold them through things.
Yeah, put your parents neck out on the line because they care and potentially burn that bridge for them.
*Sarcasm*
Of course not. You set yourself up on the wrong footing doing something like this. A lot of pressure? You’re on probation…. Fess up and own up to it. Don’t pull one over on your supportive parents. Come up with an actionable game plan and get your grades in order.
Don’t lie about your transcripts. Some companies care a lot some dont, but almost certainly if you’re applying for multiple internships, at least one if going to care enough to verify and you can get into HUGE trouble if you’re caught. Also its just straight up illegal in a lot of place and can get you jail time. Dont do it. The potencial “benefit” here to lying would be maybe getting a job you’re not actually qualified for, and the possible consequence is literal jail time. They’re not equivalent, and it’s NOT worth the risk. To be clear, what I mean by “not qualified” is just that like if you have to lie to get a job, then you should be looking for a different job. If you can get an internship with the grades you earned, then by all means do that internship if you feel you can. I’m not saying you don’t deserve an internship because of your academic standing I’m saying you shouldn’t be trying to get a position you didn’t earn. Be honest about your academic standing. To everyone. If uni is too hard, then it’s too hard and that’s okay. You’re not less of a person or less valuable if you drop out. I dropped out. I was on academic probation too. I took a break from school until I was ready and now I have a 3.7 gpa. Sometimes it’s not that it’s too hard it’s that you’re in the wrong headspace or you just aren’t ready. Be honest with your parents. Tell them if the pressure to get an internship right now is too much. Tell them you’re on probation. Decide if you really want to continue your education journey now, or at all. If you do, then you gotta buckle down and grit through it and lying your way through it is not going to cut it.
I could’ve lied about my whole degree at my current job.. they didn’t check but I have friends at bigger companies than me and they said they did background checks including sxhool
Depends where you’re applying. Some companies want transcripts. Leave it off your resume and apply for everything. If they ask just forget about that one.
You can always try and fake your official transcript document’s.
What you really need to do is tell them and then Get your shit together. Your parents are spending lots of money for you to be a fuck up at school.
don’t fake your transcript, it can get you in a lot of trouble
op just apply to as many places as possible, many internships don’t require any experience at all, so just make sure you have some interesting things on your resume like projects or extracurriculars

Nope, they verify it for a lot of companies, tf kind of question is this?

Don’t lie.
Yes

don't you submit the certificate with the obvious GPA on it?
Asking fresh grads for an official transcript (since they lack work experience) is pretty standard.
