Good Morning All,
I just had a couple of questions with respect to the application and the resume.
I initially started as a dual degree in university (Business / Law) but after a year I decided Law was not for me and dropped it for a double major in Business.
I'm currently uncertain as to how I should be showing this on the resume and or application. Should I just ignore it all together and attach the transcripts of both as is, or should I be answering the "Other Additional Information" question to explain why I dropped law? In addition, when calculating GPA - should I be amalgamating my transferred credits & my subsequent subject marks or should l only be looking at the marks I obtained post transfer?
Another related question to the education section of the resume - am I able to include partially completed professional qualifications? For example, passed Level I of the CAIA program, etc?
Thanks for your help.

Hello there,
I don't think you need to put this on your resume, and whether or not you need to put it in an essay depends on how your studies are structured. If it doesn't show up on your transcript, I'd say let sleeping dogs lie. If it does, then maybe you need to explain it (depends on what else you might have to explain and what the rest of your profile looks like). For calculating GPA, normally you should have that on your transcript, so whatever they calculate as your average is your average. For your final question, yes you can put it in education, but it can also go in a section with "Skills and Qualifications" (CFA I is not sooo impressive that it needs to take up THAT much space in your resume.

I concur. From an external perspective, somebody would not notice you dropped out (unless your transcript explicitly says this). They would merely see Law classes and that you graduated with a double major.
Have a great weekend,
