Adding an Uncompleted Undergraduate Institution to CAS

Post by bader52 » Mon Nov 09, 2015 1:01 pm

I am in the middle of applying to law schools and found myself in a quandary, however, I have to first explain my somewhat special situation.

I have obtained my Bachelor's degree from a British University (Newcastle University), but prior to that I spent less than a year in the University of Edinburgh before withdrawing and enrolling in my eventual alma mater.

I'm currently in the process of getting my transcript sent from Newcastle Uni to LSAC, and my question is as follows; do I need to add Edinburgh University as one of my international institutions? (just as I did for Newcastle), knowing that that might mean I would have to provide LSAC with documentation through Edinburgh, showing that I spent that time there, which may or may not be possible. Or is it okay to only add my alma mater as the sole higher education institution I have attended, especially since I have not completed a full year at Edinburgh before withdrawing.

Thank you in advance for any insight you may offer.

You need to list every school you attended prior to completion of undergrad. I forgot to list one and they flagged my CAS until that transcript was recieved.

Hi, do you mind to explain what you mean by "they flagged my CAS until that transcript was received"? Did they put a hold on your account or what? Thanks!

I can't remember exactly how it was listed, but I remember feeling like I was being accused of tying to hide something. They listed the school as not listed, so I requested the transcript. Once it came in, all was well.
