Will taking a year of college replace your high school transcript if?
In the US, the year of college will level set your ability to transfer to another institution. Part of the application process is to verify your educational history and reduce fraud. Having a high school transcript verifies that you are eligible to enroll in college. Any break in school is a possibility for identity theft or use of fraudulent credentials to enroll. When scholarships are in the mix, you would be surprised how desperate people are to pull a fast one. Breaks in educational history may be explained, but no one wants to be lied to. An honest person appreciates the extra scrutiny because they can prove it. I hope this helps. Good luck!
