Long story short, I'm applying to graduate programs for next Fall and I would like to avoid mentioning a school that I attended five years ago but did not finish and did not perform well at. I've decided to play it safe and go ahead and include the transcript and an explanation; however, I have a burning desire to know how, exactly, such a case would be caught by a prospective school.
Is there some central database admissions committees can use to determine which schools you have attended in the past, or is there another way they find out? Or are they actually unable to find out, leaving it incumbent upon the applicant's honesty (and Raskolnikovity) to mention every school attended, no matter how unpleasant?
Thank you.
