Returning Student - Need Some Advice

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I've been out of highschool in the work force for about 4 years as an internal it helpdesk rep at Expedia, so not necessarily anything really applicable to my major. I am looking to become a business major; I want to go back to school.</p>

<p>At 15, I tested out of highschool and went into community college where I did not use my time to the fullest extent possible. I was about a 3.2/4.0 gpa.</p>

<p>I'm looking to go to an excellent school, such as an Ivy League, etc. Obviously, I could not get in as of today, so I'm going to save that venture for graduate school and really focus on what I can acheive now. The two schools I'm particularly interested in are USC and University of Washington.</p>

<p>Because it's been a while since I've gone to school, I was wondering if it's possible to start with a clean slate. I'm looking to go to my community college in Bellevue, WA (the previous one I went to was in socal) and I didn't think it would be necessary to provide them with anything other than my highschool diploma. Does anyone know if there are certain restrictions against this, or if there is perhaps a better way of going about doing this?</p>

<p>You're suppose to include all transcripts, but I got a "C" at Yale Summer in hs and I never sent it to any college. As long as it's not on your hs transcript you're pretty much safe; just don't advertise the fact you're doing it.</p>

<p>Are you positive of this? Is there any sort of system where they can find out where I've gone?</p>
