Taking an Extra Month to Finish BA -- Does it Matter?
Posted: Wed Aug 20, 2014 4:53 pm
So I'm considering whether to add an addendum explaining why I took an extra semester to finish one class which I needed to get my BA (it was to fulfill the Math requirement). I had a family matter/emergency that caused me to fall behind in the math class I was taking my last semester in college so rather than risk not passing the class, I withdrew from the class and I just picked up a different math class at another college that I was able to then transfer and get my degree. The math class itself took a month for me to successfully complete and the university registrar allowed me to be a continuing student for that class.
Does this even matter or should I include an explanation for why I have a random transcript in my LSAC file and why I took an extra month to finish my degree? And if the latter, how much detail should I include regarding the family matter?
Thanks!
