community college grades matter?

Not sure what exactly would happen. But if they found out they might consider that fraud, and even if they dont’ consider that fraud, it still doesn’t reflect very well on your character, which is under consideration.

The thing is that your transcripts from your undergrad institution will contain any course work that you supply them prior to matriculation there, which you used for credit (even if they don’t factor the CC grade in, even if it isn’t fulfilling a requirement). For example: I had a 5 hour spanish class I took in HS, and it wasn’t for a requirement or a prereq, and the grade didnt’ factor into my Nebraska-Lincoln GPA. But instead of having to take 126 hours at UNL to graduate (though I could have taken hours elsewhere), I only had to take 121 hours actually at UNL. Those five hours showed up on my transcripts so that everything matched up the way it was supposed to. I suppose if I hadn’t “used” those hours it might have been different.
