Do I really need to list ALL of the universities that I attended on my AMCAS application? Here's what happened...
I attended a university from Fall 2008 to Spring 2009 as a freshman. I made terrible grades. I guess I just wasn't focused enough. I withdrew after the Spring 2009 semester. My GPA was like a 1.8.

So, in Spring 2010, I enrolled in another university. My grades are great! I have a 3.8 GPA. I never transferred my credits from my old school. I started all over. I really do not want to include those grades on my application or send the AAMC the transcript from my old school, since I started all over, and even my new school does not know that I attended a university back in 2008. Do I really need to put my old school down on my application? Is it possible that they can find out that I was enrolled in a university back in 2008, even though I did not transfer my old credits to my new school? The only reason I am asking is because, while doing the application, it said send transcripts from ALL schools attended...but how will they know?

Yes. You need to report everything.

They will know. Do some research on the National Student Clearinghouse.
