<p>number1guy - It depends on what school you attended for those 8 classes. My S attended a top LAC, where they did not use credit hours. Each class was one "unit." But, the registrar's website did specify that, for purposes of comparing to other colleges/universities (or for transfer), they considered each of their units to equate to 4 credits.</p>
<p>If your school is the same, that would mean you have 32 credits. Check what your school considers each class to equate to in the credit hour system that other schools use.</p>
<p>This school uses 3, sometimes 4 if the class has a lab, and 5 on some. However, the classes that would be the same as these are all 4. I really do not want to submit my high school info, and am hoping I can get admitted, "provisionally admitted", or something of that degree.</p>
<p>the only school that I am applying to that does not require a HS transcript is UT-Austin. Your state school may be the same way. However, to reiterate what has been said here, colleges need grades over a period of time to evaluate you properly. Your improvement is commendable, but a 3.6 is still not amazing, and with a 2.2 in high school, you're going to have a tough time at top schools. </p>
<p>Any private schools that you may be interested in will probably require HS transcripts. If they don't, I'm not sure how they can make an educated decision about your academic ability with only 8 classes. Even in my case (where I have ~70 credits), my high school transcript is required nearly everywhere.</p>
<p>well i mean 24 is only 2 classes away from 30. its not like i only have 10 credit hours or something...i mean it would give them an idea i would think?</p>
<p>Just send them in. Even if the college's admission counselor tells you not to turn them in, I'd still turn them in! He/she could have facts messed up.</p>
<p>If you want to take the risk, go right ahead. Apply this year, if you get rejected, you can apply again next year. Just don't come whimpering to us if you don't get accepted.</p>
<p>If they require it and you dont send it in, and you get accepted then that might be considered lying on your application, which if the college finds out they will question you or even worse you could get kicked out. Either stay at the school you're at now and get the required credits and transfer or just send the H.S. transcripts. I'm guessing they won't put as much weight on you H.S transcripts since you've already completed college coursework. (hope that helped)</p>
<p>Because someone here may know how many credits they give for the various classes you have taken, and you would have a better idea what the outcome would be.</p>
<p>i calculated them and its only 24...i was just wondering if you think they will like "temporarily or provisionally admit me" and then rescind my admission upon not meeting the requirements for my classes that im curently taking in or whatever ya know?</p>
<p>number1guy -
i don't know what all you're expecting to hear from us. you're going to have to make the call one way or the other. it seems like you're well-aware of the risks involved... and it seems like every possible situation has been offered.</p>
<p>basically, you can do one of the following:
1. send in hs transcripts now. low to moderate risk of rejection based on hs gpa. since hs transcripts are required for students with less than 30 credits and you know for a fact that you do not have 30 credits, you will have to send them in sooner or later.
2. wait. very high risk of filing an incomplete application status (which may result in disqualification for admission due to failure to meet deadlines and/or implying that you have completed 30 credits when you have not).</p>
<p>go with the first option! from what i understand, american's admissions office is fairly no-nonsense... if they don't have everything they need to make a decision, they'll either set your application aside and consider you after they've reviewed all other applications or just assume you changed your mind between the time you opened your file and the deadline. i think you'll end up dooming your application from the start if you try to manipulate the system.</p>
<p>if nothing else, stay in contact with them - call and ask if your file is complete, attach an explanatory letter to your transcript, etc. do whatever you can to show that you've taken the time to present a complete and compelling application. otherwise they'll probably assume an "if applying to american wasn't a priority for you, it's not a priority to us" mentality.</p>
<p>and to answer that last question, i might be wrong, but i think most students are granted conditional acceptances (admitted, but must complete x, y, and z courses before matriculation) to allow for prereqs to be completed or courses to be retaken... and that goes for both regular admit and transfer applicants. / the only other "temporary admit" status i can think of would be for students that have been mailed requests for spring grades, if american does that... but in that case, you can't even call it an admit. it's more like another chance to beef up your application.</p>
<p>unless you're doing transfer prereqs (lit, math, etc.) this semester or had an good-but-not-great first semester, i doubt you'd be eligible for either of those.</p>
<p>No offense, but this thread is getting annoying. You need to either:
a) call their admissions office and ASK if your CLEP credits will transfer, and if so, do you need to send in high school grades
b) either leave them out or send them in</p>
<p>No one on here will know your answer. You're taking a huge risk by not submitting your high school records since you may not be accurate about the 24 credits transferring, and they might not accept the CLEP scores (most schools don't, I woulnd't see American either).
So, either suck it up and send your high school grades and hope, or just call the admissions office. But you're sort of wasting people's time on here because no one can give you an exact answer.</p>
