<p>i currently started a new major which is chem eng at a new community college and was thinking of applying as a lower division transfer BUT i have 60 units completed at my old college and was wondering if i can just not include my old college when applying to a university and just use whatever i have in my new community college...</p>
<p>and yes im at good standing both my community colleges.. </p>
<p>and im attending a community college in california</p>
<p>Universities have a magical way of knowing every college you ever attended ever. I took a community college physics class at my high school senior year because they didn’t have honors that year. I took the class like a regular high school class and got community college credit for it. When I applied to transfer colleges (4 year to 4 year), they required the community college transcript, even thought I didn’t even list it as an institution that I attended. This also holds true for grad school applications.</p>
<p>so even if i didnt put it on the actual application they will still know as i will only put the courses i have taken recently at my new community college?</p>
<p>dang…</p>
<p>I think there must be some kind of database out there that keeps track of all the schools each student has enrolled in.</p>
<p>Colleges link into a master database to access each applicant’s collegiate history – they don’t want to admit someone who is hiding years and years of D and F work – or frankly, the kind of stuff you’re trying to hide. </p>
<p>Do it right, be up front. They want to admit you, believe it or not.</p>
