1 Degree, 2 Majors - Will both majors necessarily "count"?

<p>Now I know this topic has been discussed many times but I have yet to get a sound conclusion. I plan on finishing my major and then proceeding to stay an additional year/semester to finish a second degree. Ive noticed many colleges explicitly state that staying an extra year to get your marks up will not be counted. How will this situation work for me?</p>

<p>If you finish a first Bachelor's, then anything after your degree is conferred won't count (i.e. it won't be processed by LDAS.) However, if you DO NOT graduate and continue taking classes, then those would count since you have not received an undergraduate degree. Look at it this way: It's a car; you stop counting the people inside when the doors close -- those doors would be earning your first degree and the people your GPA; even if people climb on the roof of the car or stand on the hood, they would not be inside, although they would be on the car. (I don't know if that makes any sense:D)</p>

<p>haha wf the car analogy is utterly confusing but hilarious nonetheless. Hmm...so i guess it all depends whether I graduate or not. Im pretty sure my school will count me as a graduate, no? The only similar example I can give was in high school. In Ontario, students can come back almost as many times as they want and redo their grade 12 courses (the only courses that "count" for university admission). My buddy stayed back even though he graduated with an A average, because he decided to change programs (Fine Arts to Management). He did, however, graduate with our class the year before. Is that situation similar to mine?</p>

<p>Yeah, more or less. For example, if you are a biology major and need molecular biology to fulfill your major reqs, and that's the only class you need to graduate; well, you could actually decide to postpone taking that one class and pick up another major, or a minor, or a bunch of minors. It depends on each school's requirements. And, while I don't think you'd want to spend your all of your 20s as an undergraduate, an extra quarter, semester or eve year may be worth it for LS admissions --provided of course that you keep a high GPA.</p>

<p>I forgot...</p>

<p>when you apply to LS, that would be "driving" the car; you would only take the people inside when driving to LS:D.</p>

<p>I think its more like when you cross the boarder. If the boarder patrol (admission officer) can see there are people on the hood of the car they must remove said people before the car can cross national boundaries.</p>

<p>not seeing it.</p>

<p>Wildflower that analogy made me laugh so hard.</p>
