Can I avoid listing previous college experience on an app? Also, chances at HYPS?

<p>you think that the schools, especially the top tier, aren’t going to check your entire academic history after you are applying 5 years after graduating high school? get real kid</p>

If I was just going to sweep my past under the rug, I wouldn’t be here seeking advice

I’ve done some research, but I’m still not sure to what extent schools can or will investigate prior educational experience. I’ve never received financial aid, which is one way that prior educational experience can be traced, so I should be fine there, but I don’t know what other avenues schools can or will seek out.

<p>it certainly would appear that way, huh?</p>
