<p>Originally, I attended a local community college in high scholl as dual enroll(edison). I applied and was rejected from freshmen apps at UFL (26 act. retaken to 29). I was crushed, went to school at UNF for one year and did horribly. Transferred to Valencia for a semester and did decent but not good enough for the pre-professional Business degree requirements (C in macro. if i get strait A’s in all, I cannot get a 3.7). Anyhow here is the basics of the post, and below is the questions:</p>
<li>Can I just forget about the last 1.5 years, attend the community college back home, and when I apply just forfeit my classes attended at the 2 previous schools (Just not state I ever attended them</li>
<li>Can I Apply to UF as a new student (freshy), then after being accepted just give them my credits from the other school to up my status from my original school.</li>
<li>If 1 and 2 are incompatible with my situation, can I do anything?</li>
</ol>
<p>Colleges’ best interests are served if they know the background of their students. As such, your collegiate academic record will stay with you (and be easily accessible by any college you may attend in the future).</p>
<p>That being said, colleges’ primary role is to educate people who want to be educated. Speak frankly w/the advisory staff, discuss your past performance, state your current achievement and your future plans and then listen to the guidance that’s offered. Education professionals want you to succeed. Best of luck to you.</p>
No, you can’t. I mean, sure you could “forget” to mention the schools, but you’ll easily be caught. There is a company called the National Student Clearinghouse [National</a> Student Clearinghouse: Degree verification & enrollment verification](<a href=“http://www.nslc.org/]National”>http://www.nslc.org/) set up to provide exactly this information. </p>
<p>And here’s what makes it more fun (for people that value honesty, that is). You might think that if you apply and “forget” to mention it, you’re ok if they accept you. Wrong!! With so many applicants, they probably don’t do the screening until you enroll. So anytime after you’re accepted when they decide to run the names thru, they can catch your lie. And then they’ll kick you out.</p>
<p>Personally, since you’re the kind of person who is thinking of doing this, I hope that you DO try it just to find out what happens.</p>
<p>thank guys, except the second poster who just assumes that I was aware it was wrong and a barring action. Why dont you get your head out of somewhere it shouldn’t be, and re read the OP in which I am asking questions to see if it was LEGIT. Now that I know it isn’t, I will not do it. I also talked to the advisor today and decided to recieve my AA from the origional school, then transfer as they just want to see the AA and the effort on the last 2 semesters,so the other 2 schools wont hurt me as bad.</p>
<p>Oh, come now. If you were only wondering “if it was LEGIT” then why did you ask about forgetting? It’s one thing if you were to ask if colleges are going to ask you to list every place you’ve enrolled before or just the ones you’d like them to consider in reaching their decision. But you already knew the answer, and that’s why you had to ask what happens if you “forget” to list a few, hoping this would work to your advantage in the college decision process. If you didn’t know if they would ask or not, why would you suspect there would be something to “forget”? You were asking about intentionally failing to list something that was asked for, and yet we’re supposed to believe you didn’t know that was wrong? </p>
<p>To reply indignantly and pretend now that you weren’t aware it was breaking the rules is like … well, its like what we see happening around us in the economy. Banks are collapsing because loan officers who wanted to get their bonuses told mortgage applicants to list the income they needed to qualify. And since they intentionally never asked for W2 forms or paychecks they can excuse themselves that they didn’t “know” the income listed was false. Because mortgage officers were happy to package these loans into securities even though they suspected the underlying loans were likely to go sour, but since they studiously avoided looking at the loans they can claim “I didn’t know”. And so on.</p>
<p>You ask where do people come from with such a shallow set of ethics, who’s only concern is if someone might check up on them and hold them responsible for what they did? And you find them right here, asking if its ok to “forget” to list an academic record that might hamper them out of one side of their mouth and on the other side denying “forget” means planning a deliberate deception. In their twisted world, truth is just another option among many. Yeah, meet the business leaders of tomorrow …</p>
