<p>If you were out with an illness for a period of time your Freshman year, but finished the year out with all your credits and it doesn't show anywhere on your transcript, is it necessary to indicate it in the following question on the common app?
Do you need to check..."did/will take time off" or is that only if you have to explain missing credits, etc.
If anyone has real knowledge of how to answer this I would REALLY appreciate it. I have gotten a number of conflicting suggestions from helpful students and friends but would like to know if there is a "right" or "wrong" answer. What exactly defines "interrupted"?
Thanks...
This is the question copied directly from the form:</p>
<p>If your secondary school education was or will be interrupted, check all that apply and provide details in the Additional Information section or on an attached sheet.</p>
<p>did not/will not graduate
did/will graduate early
did/will graduate late
did/will change secondary schools
did/will take time off
did/will receive GED</p>
