pharmcas asks for transcripts for all post secondary school right?....what if i took pre-req courses at one university and only send them that transcript not the other university in which i didnt do well................???

the other univ that you didnt do well in, did you transfer those grades to your school you did well in? if so then you HAVE to submit that bad school transcript. If you didnt transfer those grades, i would say dont send it.


the right thing to do though is to be honest and send them both regardless. but hey, whatever you decide. dont shoot yourself in the foot if you dont have to. 😉

You are supposed to send ALL secondary transcripts. You might not get caught, but do you really want to take the chance? If you do get caught, no pharmacy school will accept you after that because you were dishonest.

Yes schools will automatically disqualify you if they find out that you have hidden transcripts or been dishonest in your application

how would they find out?

how would they find out?

I would imagine a simple background check could do the trick. Depending on the depth of that report, colleges you've attended could show up on that. I know your credit report can show employers.

I'm not sure on how public certain records are (like dates of attendance), but remember you do register at colleges with your full true name and social security number.

Don't think of it in terms of how you'd get caught, think of it in terms of what the consequences would be IF you got caught.

Example: If you work at a crowded and problematic pharmacy with broken security cameras where C-II substances are constantly missing, would you swipe one for recreational use? Chances are, you won't get caught...BUT if you are, that's diversion of a controlled substance (federal offense) with fat consequences.

Do some research on what the pharmacy school looks at also. Like at UF they only look at the GPA of your pre-req's. I'm sure some others are like that too.
