I think that speaks to my point though: you would be filtered out and never get the chance to work there.

Agreed. I'd also avoid things like graduation years (can reveal age or inexperience), and GPAs for foreign schools unless you've converted it to a U.S. GPA. Showing a 10-scale GPA is going to raise some red flags in the U.S.

I used to hire for a living and did it in multiple places, and while I understood these things and didn't reject applications because of them, that wasn't at all the case with many of my colleagues. I don't think people really realize just how bad the judgement is of a lot of people in a position to hire. I'm telling you, there are a lot of people in these positions who don't know much about anything and make decisions based on things that would floor you. The less you give them to question, the better.
