<p>So my friend's son is having a problem with the common app. He switched schools in the middle of his junior year, which counts as an "academic interruption," but he is being asked to upload a document. Does anyone know what sort of document he will need to upload? Thanks.</p>
<p>An explanation perhaps? I selected the gap year option on the common application, and they ask for a short essay explaining why…</p>
<p>an explanation for switching schools? where does it say i have to write an explanation? sorry i’m just so confused. and is this doc simply a word doc?</p>
