<p>I am currently looking at going back to school. I went to a traditional university for a year, but my heart was not in it. I was going to school for something that I did not really want to do.</p>
<p>I have found my calling in life and want to get back in school to further my career. </p>
<p>I am afraid that if I list this previous school, and they get the transcript from them, I will never get in.</p>
<p>Are there schools that do not care about past college history.</p>
<p>I heard that American Military University would not care, but this is a for profit university and that makes me nervous.</p>
<p>If it matters I want want to study Business Administration.</p>
<p>How long ago did you attend the previous university? You will need to disclose that you previously attended the school, but some colleges/universities have an “academic forgiveness” policy where you can start over.</p>
<p>Usually there needs to be a specified period of time between attendance.</p>
<p>Also, academic forgiveness doesn’t mean financial aid forgiveness.</p>
<p>“but this is a for profit university and that makes me nervous.” And that red flag that’s waving shows you’ve got a head on your shoulder.</p>
<p>Your transcript must be submitted to any legitimate school, that’s true. But plenty will gladly accept you. Your situation isn’t unique. Best of luck to you.</p>
