@Kosenki It's probably a good idea to say what the subject of the former MA was so that the distinction is clear. However, if you add that you were working full time during the former MA, then it becomes unclear what was the motivation to switch to the psychology MA... was it something about the former MA or that you may have been overworked with the full-time job?

Not clear what's going on if "doing an MA" while applying to an MA at the same time...

@Cinema_Sensei You’re right. It sounds weird. I wanted to say that I got into an MA program but found it didn’t suit me well, and then I applied to another MA program.

@Cinema_Sensei Both, I think :) I get it. I’ll delete the full-time job part. Thank you so much. You really helped me a lot!

@Kosenki Yes, that should probably work best. You're welcome!
By the way... I would be grateful if you could share this link to my English discussion class about movies if you know anyone who might be interested:
