<p>Should all freshmen applicants submit college transcript if they took courses at a college? Even though they do not want the credit in applying college?</p>
<p>My daughter took three college math courses at a community college. The university's FQA says that the applicant should send the college transcript. She got one B on one of the college courses. How much it will affect her early admission? She has strong grades in her high school transcript.</p>
<p>A B in a college course is like a 4 on an AP exam. Nobody (except the insanely paranoid) worries that any harm will come from submitting a 4. So why worry about a B?</p>
<p>It's your choice. If she doesn't want the credit to apply toward her degree, don't submit it.</p>
<p>I disagree with Inthebiz. The Common App last year asked if the student took courses at any college, and if so, to name the courses and the grades. If your d said No, she'd be lying on her application - not a good thing to encourage.</p>
<p>Further, did your d take these math courses instead of taking them in high school? Will she still have 3 or 4 years of math if she doesn't list them? If she's using these courses as part of her application process, showing colleges her academics, then she must send the transcript. Why wouldn't she want the colleges to know that she's taken these courses?</p>
<p>The B will not hurt her.</p>
<p>You have to list the college level classes and submit the transcript. You cannot decide to omit that information-it's called lying by ommission.</p>
<p>Even if your d. does not submit a transcript, there may be some reference to them by the guidance counselor, in which case it will not look good that the record was not submitted to the college.</p>
<p>A B in a community college math course--esp. if she's taking it as a junior in HS, which would have to be the case here--IS A STRONG GRADE! Really. Please do NOT expect perfection from your daughter. It's not fair to her. Moreover, when she goes to college, she might get some more Bs, or even Cs, especially if she takes some risks or goes to a demanding college.</p>
<p>I always thought all college transcripts had to be submitted. Am I wrong?</p>
<p>I think the main reason colleges want to see all college transcripts is to ascertain whether the applicant really is a freshman; in other words, has the applicant already taken too many courses to be eligible for consideration as a freshman rather than as a transfer. I don't think they are looking so closely at grades, at least not at the difference between an A and a B, especially if the class was an elective or something beyond the normal high school curriculum.</p>
<p>Thank you all for your comments. According to your comments, I think it is ethical to send it to the applying college.</p>
