So I primarily attended a state university from 2013-2015 and had 3 courses to complete to graduate

I found the courses rather..easy and not challenging so I went to a prestigious Ivy school in the area as part of their extension school and took the courses there instead.

I couldn't afford to take all three courses at once so I split it into each semester(being a non-trad, had to work full time to pay rent and stuff). So I took 3 remaining courses at this private school and got good grades. Transferred them to my state school, which they counted to meet my graduation requirement.

On the AMCAS though, do I list my state school attended year as 2013-2017? Technically, I receive my diploma from my state university in May 2017. But physically, I didn't go to the state school since Fall of 2015.

So if i listed the attendance year from 2013-2017 and request the official transcript-which shows the extension courses as transferred credit. This shouldn't be an issue right??

Please help!!

Thanks@@

List the dates you took classes at each school.
You need a transcript from both schools. Even though your state school lists those courses as transfer credit on its transcript, you need a direct transcript from the Ivy extension registrar too.

so, from ivy extension I can list it as 2015-2017 and then my main state school, the last time I took the courses was 2015. So list it from 2013-2015? Even if I am getting the diploma this week from them for May 2017?

Thanks
