Overcoming a bad GPA

[matchmaker]

I've literally looked at hundreds of master's programs. 99% of them require transcripts from all colleges attended. If they find out you didn't submit them all, your degree could be revoked. It's also unethical and unfair to other applicants. Many graduate schools only look at the last 60 credits even though they still require all transcripts, but you won't have a GPA for those if you completely test out. Really, 3 Fs shouldn't hurt your GPA that much. If you forwarded that transcript to TESC, every graduate school will now know you attended it because the credits earned will have the school's name above it on TESC's transcript. If tou don't submit that transcript to TESC, that degree can be revoked too.

I'm not trying to argue here. I just would like some clarification. I haven't applied to TESC yet, so they don't have any copy of a previous transcript. I attended a community college about 13 years ago and only completed 4 classes (Grades C, D, F, F). The rest of the classes were withdrawn. Is there any way that TESC or a grad school can find out about this if I don't disclose it?

Excuse me if this is a stupid question...I am only asking because my wife took a couple classes at a community college and she said that she never disclosed that to her grad schools and she has a masters from a prestigious school.
