I don't know why you didn't just do it chronologically.shep33 wrote:Hey guys,
I've sent around 10-12 apps out already, and I think I caught an error. I think... I have no idea how to explain my attendance at one university.
Basically this is my story:
-I attended University A in 2004/2005- required to withdraw because I was pretty young, still taking high school classes and worked 2 jobs.
-I then attended University B in the fall of 2005 (dates are okay on my app here)
-Then I attended University C from 2006-2007 (again dates fine)
-Then I came back to University A (the one I was required to withdraw from), where I attended from 2007-2011, completed a degree, and am on the verge of completing another degree in a different program from 2011-2013.
Now this is what I put on my application for University A:
University A: Start date:2004; End date: 2011
University A: Start date: 2011; End date: 2013
I separated them according to degrees, because I couldn't find a way to mention that there was a 2nd degree in this time frame. Even though I was required to withdraw in 2004/2005 (in a separate program), my credits still counted toward the completion of my degree in 2011.
Then I entered a new program in 2011, and am expecting a degree this summer.
I'm so ****** up right now. So lost in what to do. Haha I'm sure a few of you are lost now too
On the other hand, it's probably obvious what you did if they glance at you transcript. So, you know, whatever.shep33 wrote:Good morning,
While reviewing my submitted application I noticed that the summary of my academic history could be a bit misleading. In hopes of correcting that, I offer the following clarification:

Thank you and I hope you're having a great day,
