Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>In the Academics section, there is a Secondary Education Interruption </p>

<p>I studied outside US 17 years and moved to a US high school in my senior year.
And I graduated in Jun 2008. Now I have no school.</p>

<p>So which one( or more) should I choose below?</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>

<p>If I choose "did/will change secondary schools" it requires to upload a statement
And in some college's supplement they require a statement about my one year gap,but some doesn't require. So if I write stuff here, this will be repeated in the supplement for some schools.</p>

<p>plz help ~</p>

<p>From what you've described, it sounds like you would want to check both of these:
did/will change secondary schools
did/will take time off
and upload a document stating what you've said here (with a bit more detail, of course).</p>

<p>Then for the supplements that require a statement about your gap time, just expand on your previous explanation of why you didn't go straight to college after graduating. You could introduce it with a summary reference to your first statement, if you like ("As mentioned elsewhere in my application, I studied overseas for 17 years and then transferred to a US school during my senior year....") </p>

<p>Neither statement has to be essay-length; just tell them enough so they understand how your situation is different from the typical stateside high school senior applying while in school.</p>
