Hello, 7Sagers! Getting to the end of my checklist on these application materials and reached the dreaded résumé.

I pursued a graduate program after finishing my bachelor's. Did it for a year. Left afterwards. What language should I be using on my résumeé to reflect that I didn't complete the program? Right now I have "[Degree] candidate" as opposed to simply having the degree by itself. Will it be self-explanatory due to the fact that the date only spans one year? I want to make sure that I'm being clear, but don't want to create a negative impression in doing so.
