There has been mention on CC of med schools not being a fan of some dual enrollment credits, but we did not expect confusion by grad school review committees about transcripts.
The applications ask for Transcripts from all colleges where credits were awarded similar to undergrad. And the actual college attended for four years will show the transfer credits.
A review committee for a PhD program got confused and thought my daughter had transferred to multiple colleges to complete her degree and were concerned about all of the “transfers.”
The credits were for PLTW Engineering and PLTW BioMed high school courses for DE from two institutions, a DE calc class during Covid at a community college during senior year of high school, and another college credi taken junior year of high school that she did not bother with the DE credit for high school, but is an additional institution.
She is kind of confused that being an overachiever in high school is causing confusion with grad school applications. We explained the committee is clearly professors who do not deal directly with undergrad admissions.
Just sharing as a heads up to explain this somewhere in your applications if you are in a similar situation with college credits earned at multiple colleges - but never really transferred anywhere.
Yes, thanks, she just did not know to do that at the time. We wanted to share so others know to put something like you suggest.
She has submitted a similar statement to what you suggest with a timeline of dates and confirmation that all credits for her major were completed at the college she graduated from. The professor who will be her advisor is submitting that to them.
In the end, the dual enrollment credits really just helped with better housing selection, earlier course selection, and parking as she entered with around 50 credits. They helped with admission and a few liberal arts credits.
True, that one helped advance things along. I was thinking of the engineering courses for her major.
(The odd glitch with that has been the community college used a weird name for the course for Calc 1, but since our instate flagship takes it as Calc 1 she was able to get her college to accept it as Calc 1 )
