How do I word my resume and job apps? (took classes but I was not accepted into program)
I go to a college where I need to apply into certain competitive programs like business. However, only a handful of students get chosen each year and only a certain type of student who has no more and no less than a certain amount of credits- I had too many. I took all of the classes in the program but since it won't be feature on my transcript, degree, etc. How can I word my resume and applications when I apply to jobs under the field of study section, if I took all of the required classes but didn't get into the program officially?
TLDR, I took all of the required classes in a concentration that I got rejected from it, how can I put it on my resume and job apps?
If you were rejected from the concentration, don't put it on your resume.
Keep your official major on the resume, and just list the classes under Relevant Coursework. Don’t claim the program if it’s not on your transcript, but it’s totally fine to show you completed the full set of classes.
If it comes up in interviews, you can explain it was a competitive program and you took all the required coursework anyway. Employers usually care more about what you learned than the label.
