should i give transcripts from all schools??

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

When I was fresh out of high school, I enrolled in a community college. Long story short, I withdrew from all the classes, dropped out, and never returned to that school. Young kid mistake.

I have since graduated with a B.S. from a different, fully accredited college. When I applied to a community college to finish out my nursing prereqs, the admissions office asked for the transcripts from the school I dropped out of. I never told them I went to that school, they just somehow knew...?

So I'm wondering if that school will show up in my history when I apply for nursing school? I'm scared of all of my "withdraws" hurting my chances of getting in.

Other than that, my grades at the other school have been excellent. I am almost positive that I'm going to include that school on my application as well. I don't want to appear like I'm trying to hide it. Just looking for thoughts on the matter..

The admissions advisor at the community college told me that they have a system that the run our SSN through and that's how she was able to see every school I attended.
