ethics question...

Honesty is always the way to go.

I am however having trouble understanding this issue - our transcripts tell the story - how can we hide grades?

If an applicant decided to hide part of their record they simply would leave the university/college off of the list of previous academic institutions and thus would not submit a transcript for that portion.

Personally, I would never do this! Would anyone want to be constantly worrying that administration would find out (via financial aid records, etc.) and then get expelled from a program? No way.

An individual should be honest, own up to their past academic indiscretions and explain why they've gained maturity. If the school doesn't accept that, find somewhere else. Trust me, I'm speaking from experience.
