I went to Georgia Tech for my freshman year and got very good grades save for an F in classical physics (taking this course was a huge mistake, and I had limited time to determine that I needed to drop it as I took it during a summer semester).
I'm now transferring to Barnard College as a sophomore and I'm hoping to study mass communication in grad school.

I know it's an idiot move to withhold transcripts from any of the postsecondary schools you've attended when applying to grad school, but I don't think people who hire interns have access to any national registry of students that would incriminate anyone who neglects to submit a transcript from a past school.

If an internship application asks for a college transcript, do I *have* to submit my Georgia Tech transcript? I'd rather not, and I sort of doubt anyone hiring interns would ask me for it.

P.S. I'm looking to apply for internships with companies under the umbrella of Turner Broadcasting (in other words, Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, CNN, etc.)

Anyone have any advice?

Yes, you do. But if you are brave, then you can try to fake it. Don't you think it looks a bit suspicious when they see no freshmen transcript?

I would just to be safe. There is nothing worse than having your employer find out afterwards.

At my company, the discovery that someone lied or withheld information during an application results in immediate termination (note that it doesn't mean that termination is possible but that it is guaranteed). Don't lie, don't withhold information and don't try to run away from your past.
