<p>so question I got a 2.2 one semester from a different one that I currently attend which I have gotten 34 units of all A's. I'm applying to schools in the fall and clearly that one semester will lower my GPA dramatically, I'm wondering if I didn't report the grades from the former jc, would schools know? If so how? Please any info would help!</p>
<p>Will they find out, probably not. I’ve had tons of friends who have have gone to a 4 year back to a CCC then transferred to a four year without submitting their transcripts. If you do get caught, you wont get in for sure, when you could have got in with the 2.2, because it was only one semester.</p>
<p>Whenever you apply for admission to any accredited college, university, or community college in the USA you are required to submit official transcripts from every accredited college, university, and community college that you have attended. Send the transcripts. They’ve seen worse ones than yours.</p>
<p>So another “Can I blatantly lie to get into the college of my choice” thread. Colleges check to make sure you are honest. If you are caught, you are screwed.</p>

<p>ive never really read about this stuff because ive always gone to one CCC so its never crossed my mind. </p>
<p>but My friend went to a CSU, then to a CC, and is now transferring to Indiana without mentioning he went to a CSU. What are the chances of him getting caught?</p>
<p>I’m not sure why anyone would want to risk getting caught? </p>
<p>I forgot to put a JC on my application (and send in the transcript) to USC because it had been six years since I went there, and I had withdrawn from two classes I had taken there, and gotten an F in an another. As soon as I remembered, I sent in my transcripts along with a note explaining myself. I’d much rather be open and honest about it instead of worrying that someday the college might find out and kick me out.</p>
<p>First off - not all schools combine the GPA from both institutions, so it may not hurt you at all. Secondly, why not just write a letter explaining the 2.2 and focusing on your new pattern of A’s?</p>
<p>I wouldn’t do it because of the risk factor, but I’m curious as to how they’d discover the lie. I’m not trying to encourage you to do it, I just wonder if they would realize it.</p>
<p>@east - they can run your social security number through the database grey linked to.</p>

<p>100%</p>
<p>not only that… ive heard that if for some reason they catch you later, even if youve been at the new school for 2 years, they can just kick you out because you lied and then you wouldnt even get the credits you did at the school… also, if youve graduated and they found out somehow, they can even take away your diploma, at least ive heard… i doubt they would though considering they probably dont do background checks on ppl 5 years after they graduate :P</p>
<p>don’t risk it.</p>
<p>I ADVOCATE NOTHING!!! But…</p>
<p>There are a handful of colleges not associated with the National Student Clearinghouse. I personally noticed that my CC is not a member of ANY of their services. One could also check and see if their school is a member. If your school is not a part of NSC, the colleges can’t use NSC to see whether you’re lying or not.</p>
<p>Now this next part is based upon my own assumptions. Take from it what you will. If a school has something circa 3000-4000 incoming transfers, how much time and how much money do you think it would take to use NSC on all of them? Do you really think the college would use NSC on ALL the students? There is a possibility you may slip through a crack.</p>
<p>But as others have mentioned, if you’re caught, you are screwed. This includes even after graduation. If, by some miracle, you did not get caught, the school could still rescind your degree after graduation.</p>
<p>Is it really worth a lifetime of risk?</p>
