<p>I have two questions about the common app</p>
<ol>
<li><p>I moved to the U.S from India the summer before sophomore year, so obviously I chanegd schools. I indicated this in the section where they ask you if you have gone to any other secondary school. Should I also say this in the section about education interruption or is it interruption only when you take a break? I kinf od want to write about not being able to take some honors classes because of moving, but will they see that as whining?</p></li>
<li><p>I went to this summer program which was held at a college campus, but it was not a course taught by college professors. It was a governement sponsored program. They took a test in the end and awarded college credits based on how you did(whose results by the way have not come yet). Should I check the box where it says have you taken any college courses since ninth grade</p></li>
</ol>

<li><p>No, That’s not an interruption if you picked right up the next term at your new school. That’s just changing schools, really. Mention the stuff about the honors classes and any thing else about that move in the Additional Information section, maybe.</p></li>
<li><p>Do you know what college the credits will come from? If the issuing body is, in fact, a college you can name, then maybe add it in, but also write in the Additional information section about how the credit is still pending. You can always send the college credit transcript to your colleges one by one, AFTER you are notified of it. Even after you’ve submitted your applications. You’d have to send it directly from the issuing college anyway, for most schools.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>The credits were from NYU, but does it count as a college course if it was on a college campus, but not taught by a college professor.</p>
<p>If NYU issues you a college credit transcript for the course, it counts. If they don’t issue you a college credit transcript, than maybe it’s something less than a “college course.” Maybe contact the program where you took the course, or contact NYU’s registrar. Really, only they can tell you what it is you’ve earned. Who taught it and where it was taught I’m guessing matters much less than whether NYU will issue you a transcript for it.</p>
<p>And, if it’s not a college credit course, I’d add it to your ECs list anyway!</p>
