i say mention it, better to be up front about your past mistakes and able to learn and explain them then to omit them purposely in hoping that the school or whoever never finds out.

Hi,
i am in process of finalising my application and there was one year when i took an undergraduate degree and left it before i can finish it. My heart was never set in it and i left it because i wasn't getting good grades. I know in my application it asks for all previous qualifications. I think that mentioning this class and the fact i did not do well and dropped out in the end will hinder my application. Would it be morally right and would it be that much of a problem if i did not mention this in my application?

Do you have a transcipt/record of it? If not, then I think there is no point mentioning it.

yep if the fact that you took the class and dropped it not on the transcript than there's no need to mention it. But I really don't see how it could be not on the transcript if you registered for the class through your school. If it is on the transcript and you don't mention it on your application than the school might look at that as you trying to fool them and thus reject your application.

If there is a chance of anyone finding out you lied about something, i would be up front about it. If they find out you lied about something, even something little, you could be hosed. G

you should be up front about it- the school may very well ask you to explain the gap in your education if you don't mention the BSc classes.

you do know that you can't transfer into sgu, you'll start from the begining.

also, now that you have mentioned it here, you probably should mention it, since there are sgu officials that do visit this site.

do not leave anything out. that is considered fraud so yes, it would be a problem. my mediocre college grades hindered my applciation to us schools, and that's exactly why they wanted them in there. so they could decide if they would accept me.Hi,

If there are no chances of them finding out, is it worth the gamble?

did you register through the school for the class that you took and dropped? if the answer is yes than it will be on your transcript and the school will find out if it's not on your transcript the school will never know about nor will it be able to find out. For example I took a photography class over break at a community college near me, the prof and I had a miss understanding of what "art" is so i ended up getting a very bad grade. Now I knew that I wouldn't be sending my transcript from the community college with my application and thus the school wouldn't know that I took the class and I hence didn't have to tell the school about it. So that's the bottom line. but from a strictly moral and ethical point of view you have to include all your grades.

[stephew]

basically the application intends that all your education and activites since college are included. you can explain a bad grade. you can't explain anything they consider dishonest.leave something out at your own risk.

If you leave something out that they ask for.. you're in big big trouble. Probably subject to summary dismissal.
