I have two family members who attended Pomona, but only one graduated. The other transferred to a different school. I know I can count the graduate as a connection on the application, but does the other count or help in anyway? On the application it says “Number of degrees received” and zero is an option but I don’t want to list it if it would be unhelpful or potentially count against me. Thoughts?
Thank you so much!
My gut would say no. Why mention that a relative didn’t like it enough to stay the whole time?
@JenJenJenJen That’s what I was thinking… Of course there were more variables than that but I definitely don’t want to do it incorrectly with the stakes so high:)
Agree. I would not list the person who transferred out.
@aphroditeayelet , I concur with @happy1 and @JenJenJenJen . Please do not list the family member that transfered. It might be like opening Pandora’s box. Best of luck.
