<p>When I was in middle school, I took around three-four courses at a college over a couple summers. However, on one of them, I got a C in the class so I am kind of hesitant to report these scores. Basically, my question is... Is it all right if I don't report that I took ALL of my courses at the school? Like just not write on my applications that I went there? Because I'm willing to not transfer the credits, so is it mandatory that I report my records from the school that I went like YEARS ago?! Thanks!</p>
<p>For a complete college application, you have to submit complete official transcripts from ALL of your secondary and higher education schools, period. (My son has taken enough different courses at enough different places that he has six transcripts to submit with any application.) I think there is a federal law about this issue, if you are applying for financial aid. Or maybe the law is more general than that. Anyway, report everything truthfully, accurately, and completely. It's actually the other schools that will submit your transcript to the place you are applying, and you can't expect them to cherry-pick your academic records.</p>
<p>so what if I just don't list that I went to that college... then wouldnt there basically be no record?</p>
<p>If you're not matriculated I don't see how you can call it "your" school. I say "my local university" but I don't really feel any attachment to that institution.</p>
<p>Okay, maybe one professor. But not to the institution.</p>
<p>Hahah so galoisien does that mean that I don't have to write it down on my application since i was not actually matriculated (;</p>
<p>and qwilde, how sure are you? :D because I really don't want to send them but at the same time, I don't want to jeopardize my application because they think I'm lying on it or something. </p>
<p>but yeah, I took the courses so long ago and if I send them, then I'm just like getting credit/units for them so there shouldn't really be a penalty if I DON'T send them right!?</p>
<p>I don't think it is required; by law that is. Just don't send them. There is a website, however, that has a record of every school of higher education you have attended (I think it's clearinghouse). Admission officials don't check it though, to my knowledge/experience.</p>
<p>I believe you don't have to report it, but I'm not sure. =| Anyone want to verify?</p>
<p>Read what the certification statement says on various college application forms (which you can find online). See what transcripts from previous schools they require. Note that a student who is found to have omitted significant information from a college application form might have admission rescinded, even if admission was offered. </p>
<p>Besides, what college is going to feel bad about admitting a student who was taking college-level courses at middle school age?</p>
<p>If you think it will be detrimental to your admission decision and if your morals oblige then don't send them in. If you feel otherwise then do.</p>
<p>Well I went on the site and this is what the UC apps write:</p>
<p>"BEGIN WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL YOU GRADUATED FROM and continue in chronological order, ending with the institution where you are currently enrolled, or if you are not in school, were last enrolled. List all colleges/universities you have attended, including University of California campuses and any institutions outside the United States. Be sure to list all institutions you attended--regardless of the length of attendance, whether courses were competed or whether you believe the record will affect your chances for admission to the University or yield transferable credit. If you provide incomplete or incorrect information about the schools you have attended, your admission to or enrollment at the University of California may be jeaopardized."</p>
<p>so I guess that means I have to report it? Since it says list ALL institutions/universities BUT at the same time, it says begin with high school. Kinda confused here...</p>
<p>Call them.</p>
<p>I thought you might be applying to the UC's. Trust me; they won't know. But it seems you're essentially looking for someone to make a decision for you and make you feel good about it. We have given you our opinions and now you must decide for yourself. Good Luck!</p>
<p>Hahah I'm just super worried that I'm going to be one of those randomly selected people for like verification or whatever and then end up getting rejected because of it. Arghhh, I think I will have to end up listing it down because I'm too scared... qwilde, why do you think that "they won't know?" </p>
<p>BTW, thanks for the input so far you guys (:</p>
<p>Phone or email is out of the question? ;)</p>
<p>Because I was admitted to UC's and I didn't include part of my record. I received straight A's, but the policy was that if you had ever taken classes beyond high school level, then you were no longer eligible as a freshman. I was unaware of this, and during my gap (I graduated early) year I had taken a few classes for fun at a college nearby.</p>

</p>
<p>As a freshman applicant?</p>
<p>This doesn't make sense -- there are so many high-achievers that are also dual-enrollers -- the UC's want to lock all of them out?</p>
<p>Haha I'm afraid that phoning and e-mailing will only draw attention to this issue! (;</p>
<p>But qwilde, wow, you completely omitted your gap year courses? What did you say that you did during that whole empty year?! haah</p>
<p>oh yeah, and I have had friends who took courses at community colleges but they still got admitted as freshmen...</p>
<p>But I've been browsing around and it seems like the college apps only want you to list things starting from 9th grade and not before! feeling a little optimistic here (:</p>
<p>That's because they enrolled why in high school. I graduate at sixteen took a gap year and during my gap year decided to take a few classes to prepare myself for college. I was then informed that I would not be able to attend as a freshman (even though my classes were of audit status) and that I would have to apply as a transfer after completing two years at another institution. Needless to say I didn't report the classes I took.</p>
<p>Oh, I called and argued. The connection was never made though. I understand your situation though. I got myself into a panic and I thought the walls were closing in on me. In the end everything worked out and I chose another school over the UC's.</p>
<p>I told them I was looking after my autistic brother-which was true. I just happened to omit a few details.</p>
<p>Oh, I see. Haha, yeah I was panicking when I first posted this thread because I am just beginning to look at college apps... so I was looking at the prompts and I don't even know what I'm going to write about and then I started getting worried over this thing. But it seems like nothing before high school matters so hooray, there is leeway for little middle schoolers to make mistakes (; </p>
<p>so when you called, who did you argue with if the connection wasn't made? hahaha. and what school are you going to now instead of the UCs?</p>
