Should I include this on my application?

California LAW Pathways has a CCC Seven Course Pattern, and my community college is listed as a participating institution. I first started emailing in April to find out how I could officially participate in the program. I found out what classes at my community college fulfills the CCC Seven Course Pattern, and have already taken four of the seven courses, and have two more in progress for this current fall quarter.

I just got a response to a follow up email I sent. I was told that while my community college offers all the classes the pathway includes, it does not have the relationship set up for participants to earn their Pathway Scholar certificate. The email continued to tell me that my community college is listed as a participating institution because it was working on something with our high school partners, but did not get that going.

I recognize that there’s no way for me to access perks of the program (waived application fees at participating law schools and the chance to have priority application status at some of the participating law schools), BUT I’d still like to put down that I will have the CCC Seven Course Pattern for the California Law Pathway complete by the end of the spring quarter prior to my transfer. Do you think I should include this? If so, should I highlight participation in the Law Pathway Program in either the extra-curricular section, the PIQs, or the “additional information” section of my submitted application?

It might not affect your application given that admissions will focus on other factors first, but it wouldn’t hurt to add a line for the pathway you can’t get.
The mention might just trigger a positive difference in their consideration should there be two nearly identical applications for 1 last spot.

As an update, I contacted California Law Pathway and officials met with the VP of Instruction at my community college. The end result is that I’m allowed to participate in the program! I’m glad I didn’t give up!
