What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? MA

I recently applied for admission to a local college as a undergraduate transfer applicant. I have a high school diploma and 9 college credits. According to the college’s website the admission requirements for undergraduate transfer applicants includes a completed application, an essay and some other requirements. They require the applicant to submit official transcripts of all colleges attended whether they intend on transferring credit or not. They also state on the website that IF the applicant has a high school education
which consists of LESS THAN 24 transferable credits they are required to send officialHS transcripts to the college.
Well, I have 9 college credits and MORE THAN 24 high school credits. I had sent them everything they asked for (application, essay, etc). I did NOT send them my high school transcript.
When I asked the admissions counselor she said that what she MEANT by saying LESS THAN 24 transferable credits on the website was LESS THAN 24 COLLEGE Credits and NOT HS credits.
If she MEANT COLLEGE transferable credit instead of HS transferable credit and I do NOT send them my official high school transcript can they STILL refuse admission to me ?

My only advice to you is return to High School for a refresher course of English Comprehension. High school 'credits' do not transfer to college.

Even my daughters know that and they haven't yet reached their teen years.

Get over yourself and get them what they want. Or play Drama Queen.

Even if you sent them your HS transcript, they would not be REQUIRED to accept you.

And BB's right. Transferable credits imply college credits - HS credits aren't transferable to college.
