Transcript section for application


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

 

I just finished typing in all my pre-reqs in the transcript section of this year's application. After re-reading the help guide, I want to clarify something: for this cycle, they want us to type in ALL the courses we have ever taken (as opposed to last yr where it's pre-reqs only?)

 

Thanks for your help!

I believe they did that to reduce work and possible errors of them typing each grade manually to calculate your overall GPA

 

I found it incredibly strange at first, but what you said makes sense.

 

Going back and looking at grades from my early university career however, was not great for my ego haha.

I have a couple of questions relating to this tedious section! Thank you in advance for any help.

 

For "Course" we choose the most applicable category (i.e. Organic Chem), but for "Course No." should we specify "CHEM 233" or just "233"?

 

Also- I have a "W" on my transcript from a calculus class in first year. It makes sense to me that I would not click the "course completed" box, as it was not completed, but unless I click that box I can't specify "Withdrawal" on the drop down menu under "Grade". Seems a bit strange, unless 'completed' is only meant to refer to courses in the past as opposed to courses not yet taken, and not to whether you actually finished the course!

 

Thanks again!

I picked the most applicable category, then simply specified the number only (not the subject code).

 

For the "W", I would put "completed" and then "withdrawal." With the way they set it up with "withdrawal" under grades, it seems to me like a checkbox for "currently in progress" would be more apt than the completed/incomplete drop down.
