NOT sending grades from one college

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>After high school, I attended a major university for 1 year and 1 summer session. After taking three years off, I attended a community college, where I took mostly remedial classes, just so I could get more ahead.</p>

<p>I plan to transfer to an elite university. My grades from the university are spectacular (3.8-3.9 GPA), but my grades from the community college come out to a B+ average.</p>

<p>Can I NOT send my grades from the community college? After all, I took classes there only to gain knowledge to help me in future courses.</p>

<p>All applications state that you must send transcripts from any colleges you have attended, this is how they verify your information:</p>

<p>[National</a> Student Clearinghouse: Degree verification & enrollment verification](<a href=“http://www.studentclearinghouse.org/]National”>http://www.studentclearinghouse.org/)</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>

<p>You have to send it all. It says they can terminate your application if you don’t send all your transcripts because they might be thinking you are lying.</p>

5

<p>Just send them in. Even if they don’t find out during the admissions process, you’ll feel a lot better not having to worry about getting caught, and your admission rescinded.</p>

6

<p>Send them all. It’s not worth getting kicked out. I mean, a B+ average is great. Don’t worry about it.</p>

<p>Better to follow the rules than to get caught breaking the rules! You can make up the overalll GPA when you get accepted!</p>

<p>Dont listen to the bozos in these threads, just play dumb if they find out. If you didn’t use any government funding for the remedial classes then the schools you are applying to wont know. Just saying.</p>

<p>5 bozos vs. 1 individual with questionable (to be generous) ethics and likely about the same amount of knowledge (they have not successfully transferred yet).</p>

<p>So take your pick OP, none of us have any skin in this game, only you do.</p>

<p>Um, yeah, robertrulez doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about. Do not listen to him.</p>

<p>There is a national non-profit clearinghouse of academic data that effectively every institution of higher learning in the USA participates in. “Government funding” has nothing to do with it. Every application is run through the database to look at all prior college enrollment. They will find it. So, for example, when I applied to grad schools, I had to send three transcripts - community college and the two universities I attended. Yeah, it was a pain, but if I’d left off one of those, I would have been auto-rejected.</p>

<p>And you’re worrying about it being a B+ average? Get a grip - that’s a very solid GPA.</p>

<p>I am very happy to receive so much advice. Thank you. You have convinced me to send both transcripts.</p>
