This is a huge fudging and lying of credentials. Honestly, I wouldn’t worry about getting into a top law school. I would worry about getting a lawyer and being able to graduate from your college, without getting expelled/ sued/ whatever.

In most cases, if found guilty of falsely presenting admissions materials (of which transcript is the largest component), most universities will kick you out or rescind your diploma even after graduation.

As suggested by others, you should really lawyer up. And, honesty really is the best policy. Everyone could and does lie here and there to a certain extent, but you shouldn’t really cross a line - lying about things of this much substance will come back to bite you with severe consequences.
