<p>Im cc transfer student with pretty good chances at UCLA, Marshall, and HAas. Problem is, I attended different junior college before this current one with not so good grades. And if I dont list that school in the application, there will be a gap between my high school and this current cc. </p>
<p>I heard about USc's academic tracking program, so Im worried about them. (They require high school transcript)</p>
<p>UCLA and Haas, I'm not too worried becuase they dont look at high school transcript, which means they cant see the gap between my high school years and current CC. x) </p>
<p>Any comments or worries I should be concerned about?</p>
<p>You have to report all courses from all schools you have attended. If your grades were lower at the first, use essays where you can to highlight upward trend, explain unusual circumstances.</p>

Yes, you should be worried about lying on your application, whether or not you get caught, because it is dishonest. You should also worry about getting caught.</p>
<p>UC's do random checks in there application process and because you will have a gap in education it will be more likely that they will check your app. If you get caught good luck trying to ever get back in the UC system because they will red flag your application. Point being, DON'T DO IT.</p>
<p>You can, and there have been plenty of instances where, people have literally gotten kicked out of a UC for doing exactly what you're describing. </p>
<p>AKA FALSIFYING YOUR APPS. I'm not sure but isn't their a legal clause that U.C.'s put into their application that makes your application a written contract of sorts? Meaning that the U.C.'s could actually sue you for it if they wanted upon discovery.</p>
<p>I hope you're not seriously considering omitting critical application data. People that do that are just dead space taking up an already overcrowded applicant pool... of honest applicants.</p>
<p>I'm not going to do it, but I just wonder how they can find out. In what cases will they ever check once the student is accepted in the UC. Just curious.</p>
<p>skooskoo, I do not want to see you continue on this board with questions about how you might get caught - neither before, during or after the admittance.</p>
<p>It's wrong. Don't do it. You have 100% of posters so far telling you that. Case closed.</p>
<p>lol they're not good people. they just dont want others being dishonest and getting away with it because it will hurt their chances of admissions to the same schools and programs :) they're more selfish than we like to imagine lol but its true, thats a big thing to lie about, step up and be honest about all your courses.</p>
<p>I never sent (and will never send) my high school transcript to UCLA. But I think they may have asked what year I graduate. If not, they know my birthday, and should be able to do the math.</p>
<p>I wouldn't omit them, it's a huge risk, and I think you can turn it into a positive. "I really wasn't focused or ready, and failing helped me turn things around. I realized how important an education was, and I got a fresh start and look at what an awesome student I became!"</p>
