I sincerely doubt, thumper, that all dropped courses are on official college transcripts. If you sign up for a class and drop it a week later, I doubt that would show. That could make for a very busy transcript, but I would imagine that most schools allow a certain time period where it would not even reflect a drop. After that time period, probably different for each school, the dropped course would reflect on the transcript as a withdrawal. Not a single dropped course showing up on my transcripts. Then again, it’s been a really long time since I’ve gone to school. Thank God.

My point, laughwithme, is to take everything you read from people such as us with a grain of salt. Sometimes we’re dead on, sometimes we’re dead wrong. If nothing else, it certainly gives you a good basis on which to review the college’s application rules and gives you some specific questions to ask the admissions office. Of course, every now and then even the admissions offices are wrong about their own policies!
