Why do UC's want transfer students to list all community colleges attended?

<p>I am a much older student (58!) and am transferring to UC Davis next fall. My TAG has been approved so I am in as long as I finish stats this spring. I have over 200 units from 4 different community colleges from 1973 to the present. The first one I attended when I was 19-22, very young and not too concerned about my future. On that transcript I have an F, D, and a couple of C’s mixed in with mostly B’s. From the CC I have been going to for the last 2 years I have a 3.9. Unfortunately you must submit every class you have ever taken at any CC at any time in your life. As a result of those early grades, my GPA on my TAG form is a 3.47. </p>

<p>They do have ways of finding out if you have omitted something and if they do find out you will not be admitted or admission will be revoked. Take your lumps and move on. Get straight A’s from now on… live with the consequences.</p>
