Sending foreign evaluation

I have a slight dilemma. I listed all the schools that I went to in the past on my pharmcas application and one of the schools that I listed is a foreign medical school (Ross) where I got terrible grades and left after the second semester. Letting the pharmacy schools see these grades only weakens my application. Do I need to send a foreign evaluation or can I just keep this out off my application even though I mentioned the school on my pharmcas. What do you guys suggest?

It depends on when you left this school. In my case, I got a bachelor degree in foreign school 11 years ago (of course, I began everything in US like prerequisites, etc). I did not mention it in my pharmcas . So most of my schools did not require this school's transcripts because they do not know. Actually, for me, if you completed all requirements the applied schools required, you do not need to mention this school in your pharmcas. However, if you already mention it, Pharmcas should be the first one to require the transcripts or not let you to submit. You can call Pharmcas as a reference.

thanks for the feedback, I talked to pharmcas and since I'm not a foreign student and none of the classes that I took at the foreign school were prereqs or anything important I don't need to send
in a foreign evaluation. However I already did and now pharmcas is automatically adding it to my application. I wanted them to just throw it away when they get but they say they can't do that. This is like shooting yourself in the foot. F all of this.
