I reported one forgotten transcript so I could use a credit and I got an admissions revocal warning but nothing happened. I decided not to report the other two from other colleges I went to which have several As and a C out of fear. Should I report them?
You need to come clean. What possible value is there in concealing something which is so easy to uncover? Most colleges belong to a national clearinghouse…
I know, I’m just paranoid, but wouldn’t they have told me by now? I’m very confused. I mean I should come clean but I’m having anxiety.
Are you asking posters on CC to tell you it is OK to ignore the rules everyone else abides by? I don’t expect that will happen.

You aren’t paranoid. You omitted information you are required to divulge.
So bite the bullet, come clean and stop living with the unease of “when will they find out? and what will happen when they do?” They will find out TODAY because you will tell them.

I’m not asking if it’s okay. I literally asked if they can erase my academic history. No one said yes or no. I’d happily come clean if they won’t do anything that’s out of proportion for the violation I committed.
I expect it is the college’s call. Don’t know if anyone here can give you an answer with certainty. Hope things work out.

Has an academic history deletion ever happened to anyone else?
We can’t answer because we don’t know which college you are attending, which colleges you attended and “forgot” you attended, and we don’t know what the specific circumstances are at YOUR college for being rescinded or made to start over. And you can’t either until you come clean.
Honestly, what is the upside for you in playing this game?

I know someone who has failed to report transcripts more than once and it has no effect. Even when a school was informed by someone else that the student had not reported a previous school. I am not suggesting you try to get away with this. It is kind of like a rotten foundation on which to build and will haunt you. But the lack of vetting by admissions is outrageous honestly.
No one here knows your school’s policies or history with similar situations. But I’m fairly certain the universal answer will be to do the right thing.
I’ll add that, in general, repercussions are often less severe when the “perpetrator” takes initiative to come clean rather than waiting to see if they’ll be caught.
Since there is nothing more to add, I’m closing the thread.
