Awful past transcripts

Applying to College

<p>Hello everybody,</p>

<p>I know this topic has probably been posted here a million times but please bare with me.</p>

<p>I am a biology major with aspirations of being a medical doctor. I am attending a California community college and I currently have a 4.0 GPA. I recently signed up for financial aid at my school and I was asked to provide transcripts from the past colleges I attended. This is a big problem for me because the grades from my two previous schools were awful. Yes, I previously attended a community college in Michigan and a university in Chicago. Again, my grades were absolutely ATROCIOUS!!!! I will admit I was an immature College football player with bad study habits. I did not submit the bad transcripts to my current school because I know it will destroy my 4.0</p>

<p>My Question: If I transfer to a 4 year University or graduate school will they ask for all my transcripts or just my most recent?</p>

<p>I fear that I wont be accepted into any graduate program if they find out about my past grades.</p>

<p>Your replies are deeply appreciated :)</p>

<p>Yes, it’s been asked (and answered) a million times.</p>

<p>Yes, they will expect you to submit all past transcripts. There’s a clearinghouse they can check, and if you don’t submit your transcripts, and they find out, they can throw you out and even rescind your degree.</p>

<p>Sorry, know that’s not the answer you wanted to hear …</p>
