<p>I took a quarter of a summer intensive organic chemistry course at a community college. The professor was terrible and due to the fast pace, I was unable to keep up and basically stopped going. I ended up with an F. Will I need to report this one course I took during the summer when applying to a graduate school? How does the system work? If I do report this, how will it affect me? Will the school see the GPA at my current university, then see the 0.00 GPA at the community college and reject me?</p>
<p>You should ask the schools what they want and, if you find a way to explain your situation, go for it. I doubt it will be the worst thing for them to see that grade ,though, if you did well on the GRE and have done research or something along those lines.</p>
If a grad school wants to see all transcripts, you’ll have to submit a transcript for the summer course. You can’t hide past enrollment - it’s all reported to the National Student Clearinghouse. Universities can easily find out if you are trying to hide something.</p>
