<p>So I graduate from highschool with decent grades, get into a university and do pretty bad freshman year, if I wanted to start over could I apply to another university as only a HS grad and leave my shltty freshman year marks in the past? How would they know I wasn't coming straight out of HS?</p>
<p>I don't assume you would be able to do this but my friend did so yeah now I'm curious.</p>
<p>lol, it would be considered fraud of a sort. You can’t just be rid of them. Besides it will show on your records and what not.</p>
<p>You need papers from your high school guidance department and a letters from your teachers and counselor. Unless you forge those as well or apply to something like the University of Phoenix, it’ll be hard to get away with.</p>
<p>It is an interesting idea. At every college I went to visit, it took the admissions staff a little bit to understand the idea that I was coming in as a freshman in the fall, but I was not a high school senior. In fact, other than the fact that my personal records indicate that I spent months after high school in the military, the universities I looked at could have had any number of ideas about what I’ve been up to since high school. Also, I guess my taxes would now show that I am no longer a dependent of my parents due to my current employment.</p>
<p>Your easiest bet would be to go to community college which is basically open enrollment and then transfer to another school after.</p>
<p>You are required to submit transcripts from all accredited colleges you have attended if you want to apply to one. It’s unclear how easily or how often that is actually checked, true. But if a college finds out at any time (even after you’re already in) that you hid transcripts from them, you will not be attending that college.</p>
<p>Hence my community college suggestion. Even if you got straight Fs I’m pretty sure they still take you.</p>
<p>I agree, comm. college is definitely the way to go.</p>
<p>To clarify, I’m in my first year of engineering and I’ve been accepted into my disipline for next year. I was just curious about this because my friend did it and it kind of ****ed me off at the time lol didnt seem fair…I’m sure a lot of ppl do this though. Seems interesting.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What records though?</p>
<p>[National</a> Student Clearinghouse: Degree verification & enrollment verification](<a href=“http://www.studentclearinghouse.org/]National”>http://www.studentclearinghouse.org/)</p>
<p>Those records.</p>
<p>It seems ok to me… they wasted that money on the first year and have to repeat it.</p>
<p>@MHN75 </p>
<p>Just show them your (whatever the equivalent is in the marines) DD214. I graduated in 2008 and was deplyed a couple months after graduation. As soon as I was back I mailed my DD214 to the admin staff at my school along with the teacher recs, sats, and transcipts. I got a call from the admin staff congratualating me on my service and told me I was accepted. They sent the acceptance letter almost three months later lol.</p>
<p>Cab, no school has asked for my DD214 (it is the same for all services I think). I think that is because I have an RE-3P code and an uncharacterized/medical discharge so it really doesn’t matter. I put on my applications that I was in the military but I was not a military veteran… I think that’s correct.</p>
<p>lol lemme know if this works, bro.</p>
