Non-Traditional/Writing a Letter

[Gabe22]

Hi there, 

 

So, I'm an extremely non-traditional student with a complicated educational history. I was curious if anyone else has ever found themselves (or knows anyone who has) in the situation where their degrees don't fit into the traditional UAA categories and had to write a letter regarding their situation instead? That is an option in the guidelines, but I've had such difficulties communicating with the office at all over the past two years that I'm not entirely excited by the prospect of having to do this. Anyone ever had any luck with this? Any tips or suggestions? 

 

Thanks for anything you can tell me.

As a history student, my degrees do not fit with the traditional UAA categories. I actually don't have any of the pre-reqs that were required in previous years. I did not write a letter because the criteria used to invite candidates for an interview did not consider the classes that have been taken; they only consider marks received in the undergraduate classes. So I didn't see a benefit to writing anything.

Hope that answers some of your questions. Good luck.
