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.
Pretty sure all Asian people, regardless of ethnicity, aren't counted as URM. It's quite flawed, since umbrella != disaggregated data, but that's my understanding. Either way, you aren't responsible for identifying yourself as URM, the adcomms are, so it's hard to say. Also being first gen is definitely a soft factor!
