I've been filling out applications online and have noted that several of them don't offer enough lines to write all my senior year classes. Usually there are six lines, but I'm taking 7 classes each semester this year.

Has anybody else had this problem?? Should one still apply online if such info doesn't fit??

Thanks.

I have that problem too, except it's a paper application. It ahs "semester one" and "semester two," but we don't have semesters. Whatever classes you want to take you take all year long. Then there's only 6 lines, but I have 7 classes.

I don't see any harm of just explaining this in a simple sentance on the margin?

I was thinking that, but then you won't be able to apply online (adobe acrobat sets the spaces where you are allowed to type). I suppose this means you just have to snail mail it, but this seems somewhat silly seeing as SO many people have 7 classes, and colleges really like online apps. Oh well. 'tis life.

Just list the most important academic classes (i.e. core classes or AP)

can you put two on the last line?

Kewkiekid, that's what I was going to do. Or just state that I don't have semesters and put the 7 classes. They'll probably figure it out though, They do look at your grades.
