Issue

<p>Ok, so I am a freshman right now and am currently at community college. My first semester I went away to a school I did not want to attend (parents decision). I joined a frat and didn't play lacrosse like I was supposed to and wound up with a 1.58 GPA. Yes horrendous, but I didn't try one bit. Right now I'm doing really well at community college and should be up to a 2.5-3.0 range once this semester ends. I decided to play lacrosse again and am getting recruited heavily by schools. My high school gpa was a 3.4. Now my issue is that coaches want me to apply to the schools. I really do NOT want to send my college transcripts because they are totally going to screw me with money. Is it possible for me to totally ditch the college transcripts and only send my high school transcripts? Since I am under 24 credits all the schools require my high school transcripts anyway.</p>

<p>No. When applying to an college, you must provide transcripts from all other colleges you have attended. It sucks, I know, but if you don’t then you’ll end up rejected everywhere you apply.</p>

<p>See the coaches told me they can get me in, so me getting rejected isn’t the issue. Me receiving the academic and athletic aid is my biggest factor. I just want to apply with my high school information then eventually send my second semester college grades instead. I’m guessing this won’t be possible though.</p>

<p>No, it is not possible. Failing to send transcripts is equivalent to lying about the grades you got; both of those things will get you rejected no matter how much the coaches may want you.</p>

<p>However, do realize that most of the financial aid available today is need-based. As a recruited member of a sports team, I highly doubt you wouldn’t be able to get the money you need to attend.</p>

<p>This is how colleges know about your past college record:</p>
