<p>Well the issue is that I've not made it past the 90 credit mark, but still... I wonder if this would look good to employers or just send a red flag.</p>
<p>No, you only went to school for one year. Claiming to be a third year would be lying. </p>
<p>How did you get so many credits?</p>
<p>Actually if you’re an academic sophomore there’s nothing wrong with putting that. If the over/under line for soph/junior is 90 credits you can’t put Junior though.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well the thing is I went to a university while in high school and earned 13 credits. I also earned 30 credits through AP.</p>
<p>I also earned 38 credits while enrolled at UVA.</p>
<p>You can include “junior by credits”, but when you show up for that investment banking internship they are actually gonna expect you to know your ■■■■ like the other 3rd years who are there, and when word gets out that you are a freshman with AP credit you will get laughed out of the office.</p>
<p>Well according to UVA policy, > 30 credits is second year, > 60 credits is third year… but I wouldn’t have technically completed a third year by credit.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Most of my coursework is upper-level anyway. </p>
<p>Oh, physical sciences > investment banking that made this economy fail. Science and biotech, not finance, is the future of this country. It’ll be biotech enzymes and nanoindustry that will shrink both capital and variable costs of manufacturing in the future, not sketchy credit default swaps.</p>
<p>Say that you’ve only completed your first year at UVA but you have enough credits to have junior standing, and explain what sources those credits came from and what level of coursework you’re currently completing.</p>
<p>Nothing was sketchy about credit default swaps. You obviously know more about biotechnology than most people on these forums (and more than I would ever care to know) Galoisien, but those statements about finance are pretty ridiculous. </p>
<p>Banks made global economies possible. Without banks, there would be no biotechnology. </p>
<p>And before I hijack you’re thread, you would be lying which would be grounds for termination. Most of your job apps will be second semester anyway. You could have third year standing by then and therefore put that on your resume. But they will ask for your expected graduation date, and if you lie on that you could run into problems down the line.</p>
<p>I’m not lying. I have technical third year standing, and fourth year standing by the completion of my third semester.</p>
<p>The only issue is that employers will get the wrong impression when they see mu graduation date and just think I’m slow or something or that they might think I’ve really been here 2+ years and have had my graduation date delayed.</p>
<p>I just go with my class year (i.e. if I entered in '07, say I just finished sophomore year). If anyone presses further (i.e. “how come you have so many credits?”), then you explain that you have junior standing for whatever reason.</p>
<p>On resume’s, it is traditional to put intended graduation date.</p>
