<p>I took a community college course junior year and got a bad grade in it...do I have to report it?</p>
<p>Ethically, yes. The applications ask you to report any outside courses. If you are admitted and haven't mentioned this course and the college later finds out, they could kick you out.</p>
<p>I'm not quite sure what you mean by "a bad grade." On CC, many would think of a B this way! Your willingness to challenge yourself academically could be seen as a positive outweighing any less than optimum grade. You could also address what you learned from this experience in an essay or during an interview.</p>
<p>Not ethically yes only. if you have any sense, yes</p>
<p>Seriously, its a matter of a quick check.. be honest about it, twill be fine</p>
<p>If you have courses you're reporting that you got good grades in at the same college, than either don't report any of them or all of them. They'll probably request a transcript if you state you've attended a college, but if you don't mention it, it'll be impossible to find. It is not a "quick check." There are thousands of colleges out there and the college you're applying to is certainly not going to check every one.</p>
