<p>I went to a different school during the spring semester of my freshman year. Commonapp requires me to "explain" this "interruption to my secondary education." But there's no big deal? What am I supposed to put?</p>
<p>It doesn’t have to be a “big deal”. Why did you switch schools? Something like, “Moved” or “Accepted to charter school” or “Left private school” or whatever is sufficient.</p>
<p>really, what was the “reason”? S changed schools because he wanted a smaller community. Just explain in one paragraph. It is actually a reasonable question.</p>
<p>I switched schools because I wasn’t happy with the rigor of the curriculum that I was getting at my public school, so I switched to a local private military school. I ended up absolutely loathing it, and I went back to the public school afterwards and am now much more pleased with the classes I’m taking and the teachers.</p>
