<p>I'm wondering how the jump from a Canadian college to an american one works. Do they transfer your complete history (up here every student has a file # with records of their studies and grades from elementary school and onwards) to which the university also has access or do you begin a new one with the only piece of information carrying over being the submitted transcript?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>American colleges most definitely don't care about your elementary school record. Some colleges want to see your high school transcripts, others only want your previous college record. Check individual colleges' websites for details.</p>
<p>lol I know. I'm just wondering if they get access to your master file or if they stop at the transcript you send them.</p>
<p>Nope, they only get to see what you send them (i.e. your college and maybe your high school transcripts). </p>
<p>Is there something in your file that you would not want your college to know about?</p>
<p>Something like that. Diciplinary note for calling a teacher an idiot. hehehehe......would do it again too.</p>
<p>I'd like to hear more about this from other people (no offence b@r!um). A lot of applications ask the student to give them the right to review their academic history. Doesn't this sort of imply that they go through everything and not only the transcript you give them (as in they ask the college for another digital transcript and past schools as well)?</p>
<p>I have never seen such a waiver but that's interesting... What exactly do the waivers say and which colleges use them?</p>
<p>[I know Yale uses it. Probably the other ivies too..</p>
<p>But what do those waivers say? </p>
<p>I have been looking at Yale's transfer application forms and I did not find a general waiver that would allow them to access your entire master's file. I only found two waivers: the typical one that asks whether or not you waive your right to see your recommendations after enrolling at that institution, and one that allows Yale to verify all information that you have provided on your application without notifying you. </p>
<p>That just means: don't lie. Yale does not get access to any information in your master's file but just those elements that are relevant to your application, i.e. your high school and college academic records and your high school and college disciplinary files. </p>
<p>If the incident you want to hide occurred before high school you are safe. If it occurred in high school, for example, you would be obligated to report it in your application and it would also appear in your secondary school report where it asks if the applicant has incurred any disciplinary action.</p>
