Thoughts appreciated.
I don’t know if I agree that it looks bad that a BS took more than 4 years. While I don’t agree with it, there are many liberal arts schools that require 5 years. I would pay a application service for there accurate advice first. But also just answer the question with how many years of school you have had. And then list the BS or masters accordingly. Anything can be explained in interview. And I doubt that your app is scored from that part of it. Way too loose of a data point IMO. But pay for the service. Not worth giving up even a months seniority over the fee. GL.
BTW...I finished my bachelors in 3.5 years and that’s what I put. In the interview they asked how I did it and I explained. Non event. So the system didn’t throw my app out for not having “4 years” even though I had a BS. FWIW
