Is anyone willing to read a 'Supplement' for my common app?

<p>This is what I am planning to submit for the when the it asks to provide details about any interruptions in my education. I have gotten my mom to read this as well, but I just want to make sure that it comes across clearly and isn’t confusing to a third party (such as an admissions officer).</p>

<p>(START):
I started my high school career attending (HS #1) located in Florida. I had been accepted into their Pre-International Baccalaureate Diploma (Pre-IB) program and following I was accepted into their full IB Program in my junior year. I attended this school from the beginning of my freshman year (9th grade) until the end of first semester my junior year (11th grade). A few weeks before the end of that first semester my mother received an offer for a job in California, which she accepted. I finished my midterm exams then, during the winter break, my family and I moved from Florida to California. </p>

<p>I began my schooling in California (second semester of my junior year) at (HS #2), in (ca), taking classes in their IB program. (HS #2) was not the zoned school for the house my mother rented, but due to the fact I was taking IB classes the district allowed me to transfer to (HS #2). Within a few weeks of getting into (HS #2) I was forced to make another change. Due to transportation issues my sister and I had to change schools again and go to the school that was zoned for the house we were renting, (HS #3).</p>

<pre><code>Within my first two weeks at (HS #3), the owner of the house which my family was renting gave us 30 days notice that he wanted the house back due to his financial situation. My family and I were forced to move once again, which of course requireding a change of schools. My mother moved us closer to her work, where I began attending (HS #4) in (CA) in March of 2012. I will graduate from (HS #4).

<p>Thanks for reading. I understand that the (HS #-) may make it a little more difficult to read but it is just for safety reasons :). The actual version will have the full school names and locations of course. Any feed back or suggestions are welcome and appreciated.</p>

<p>Bump…</p>

<p>This is clear. But could it be enclosed with the guidance report and transcript, rather than go in your common app?</p>

<p>Compmom, that’s a great idea. I think coming from the Guidance counselor would be better.</p>

5

<p>On the common app it had a specific section asking about any interruptions in schooling, so that’s where I was going to put it…</p>

<p>This wasn’t for the additional info section.</p>

<p>I realize it’s a week later and my post might be unnecessary… but I think it’s clear. Especially once you put the actual HS names in. Sounds perfect to me!</p>
