Submitting Transcripts to Schools

[futurenurse310]

Hey guys, I know this topic has been beaten to death(I've done the search), but I was wondering what you guys would do in my situation. So I am trying to gather transcripts from the JCs that I currently go too, and one of them I have racked up 20+ credits, and the other about 50+ . And these are 2 schools that I am still attending at this moment. Anyways, back in highschool I had taken an english class at a JC, but stopped attending so I am pretty sure I received an F. That is the ONLY class I have ever taken at that school. Now this was all the way back in highschool. Now fast forward to years later, I recently took a math class at another community college, but ending up dropping it and receiving a "W". This was the ONLY course I have taken at THIS JC as well.

So if you guys were in my boat, the two main schools that i go to with most of my credits, I have received their transcripts but am not sure whether or not I should pay the money to receive the transcripts from the colleges I got an F at, back in highschool, and the other college where I received a W. Should I just order them anyways?

I was in a similar situation last year. I went to 2 JCs, one right out of high school and got a F and a W in my only semester there. I took all of my prerequisites & lower division GEs at the second JC and did pretty well there. When I was applying for schools, I thought about not sending my transcript from the first JC. But I ordered and sent them in the end because I didn't want to risk losing my eligibility or get kicked out of the program in case it was discovered down the line.

Thanks alot.. I guess if I do somehow get away with getting accepted into a school without sending in those other 2 transcripts, it will still be in the back of my mind about how much of a risk I am putting myself into, and hell no I would not want that.

You need to send in EVERY transcript from EVERY college you have ever attended, even if it was just one class. If they posted a grade for you, even if an F or a W, you better send it in. Schools have ways of discovering if you attended other schools, don't risk your future career on neglect!
