<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>Need some advice. I have searched everywhere and haven't found a situation quite like mine, so... here's the story:</p>
<p>I graduated with an A.A. in the summer of '08. The following spring, I entered a distance Bachelor's program from a brick-and-mortar school. However, the program was not really something I was interested in, and honestly the only reason I enrolled was because I wanted a leg-up with an advanced degree and this seemed to be the best distance curriculum I could find. I only took two classes. I worked two jobs at the time and the workload proved to be too much, along with my loss of interest in the program. I couldn't withdraw because I also received V.A. Educational Assistance at the time and I would have wound-up owing thousands of dollars I didn't have. I stopped participating in the courses around the 1/2-3/4 mark of the semester and wound up with U's.</p>
<p>This past fall, I also enrolled in an online Medical Transcription Diploma program with a community college because I liked the possibility of working from home, and as I have a very fast typing speed, I felt it was something I could be good at. Again, only two classes, though I recently dropped one of them because I experienced problems with the software making it impossible for me to do 1/3 of the work. I of course mentioned the school where I earned my Associate's in the application process, but not my one semester in the 4-year school. As far as I know, it hasn't caused any problems.</p>
<p>Well, the problem is that Medical Transcription is becoming obsolete, and as it turns out, I'm not that interested in continuing with that either. I've found another distance Bachelor's program at another school, and this is a field I've been DYING to go into for a very long time. I applied, sent the application fee and arranged for my GED scores/A.A. school transcripts to be sent. However, I've made the mistake of omitting the 4-year school and my current one from the application.</p>
<p>I've done the research and I realize now that I need to include everything, regardless of how it may make me look. An admissions representative called me earlier this evening to verify my dates of enrollment at the A.A. school and reminded me that I needed to have transcripts sent, which I am doing. When she asked if there were any other colleges and I said "no", I immediately knew it was a mistake.</p>
<p>My question is how, or if, I can make this right? I have heard that when some people are found out omitting schools from their applications, they're simply asked to have the transcripts sent. Should I just quietly have these transcripts sent and wait for them to ask questions, or contact someone from the admissions office to explain the situation? Maybe say that I forgot about my stint with the previous 4-year school and decided to include it? Also, I'm still enrolled in the Medical Transcription program and there wouldn't be any transcripts to speak of as of yet. Another part of me believes that bringing this up will only hurt my chances, so I should wait and see without doing anything. However, I really want into this program and the stories about being kicked out or having a degree rescinded over this scares me.</p>
<p>Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance to everyone for your help.</p>
