Serious Question about submitting transcripts to pharm schools.

Hi all, and thanks for reading my post today.

since i graduated HS, i attended about 3-4 schools and those schools have a lot of my W's grades and also A's and B's too for pre-pharm courses.
However, Fall of 2006 I decided to redo every pre-req for Pharm school at a private university I've never attended. Which is a good thing and I've been having the thought in mind that i do not need to submit my old transcripts from the 3 colleges and 1 university that I've attended in the past. In the recent months, I've been depressing because on most pharmacy schools' websites they had posted the statement requiring us to submit all colleges attended. If I apply and omit those schools will i get penalized and had anyone ever been in this situation like me?

Also, the university that i'm attending offers some classes online but not on ground so I took Gen. Biology online. will that be a problem for my entrance to a pharmacy scchool also?


Thank you for reading my concerns today. I appreciate your time and sincere responses.

Yes - you will have to submit all of them. If you don't it's pretty easy for the colleges to look at your records and speculate about what you were doing during those years where you don't list anything. And, it's a pain when you have to go back and get the transcript from the community college where you took one english course, like I did.

Yes, but what if I don't want to list them and they will find out for sure? Those 5 years after H.S graduation I don't want to count the grades from the pre-req of pharmacy i did though. Do i still have to submit those transcripts?

Everything needs to be submitted. Any coursework, whether withdrawn, failed, or incomplete, is a part of your permanent record and needs to be submitted. If not, it will eventually catch up with you and will have a negative impact on the schools you apply to or get accepted to when they find out about the missing information.

Some pharm schools I have seen do not allow science courses to be taken online. I don't know if that applies to all though.

You'll wind up in some serious trouble if you don't send everything.

Yes, because any discovery of your misdeed will make future application cycles more difficult for you. Schools are going to wonder why there's a big time gap in your application.

If you have retaken those courses with bad grades and Ws recently, then you have established to schools that you had the ability to succeed and have the ability to do well in pharmacy school. Sure, those bad grades will be liabilities that you will need to address, but dishonesty is risky.
