Re: Stating my less-renowned MBA in best-school MBA Applications [#permalink]
All five of the applications I've completed have asked me to provide transcripts or other records for all undergrad or grad schools I've attended.

Failure to list a school (especially for the reasons you gave) would be considered a lie by omission and would probably be grounds for throwing your application out. If you still want to go for it, go ahead.

Thank you for sharing your personal experience!

If this is the case, I just won't conceal the information. Thank you both, Alex Chu and emont for helping me understand the real situation.

Could you please help in one regard then? How can I present in the application that I pursued a full-time MBA side by side a full-time job (40-hour per week; flexible time duration each day)? Is this kind of scenario a-bit common in other countries (at least in few applicants applying for a good school)?

Thanks you.

That would probably be something I explained in the "miscellaneous" essay, or if you're able to include comments along with the school information and transcripts you enter.

I wouldn't say that sort of thing is common in the US, but my guess is the adcoms have seen everything you can think of at some point in their careers. I can't see them holding that against you.
