Transcript Question Regarding Sloan Application - can't find an answer
[#permalink]
12 Nov 2015, 16:55
Hello hello,
I was looking online at the Sloan application requirements and had a question I hope someone could answer for me;
On the main site [https://mitsloan.mit.edu/mba/admissions/apply-here/instructions/] it says the following;
"Transcripts from all courses that counted toward a degree"
Just to clarify, is this asking for all grades from ALL classes you took in University/College? What if you switched majors after first year and none of your classes transferred over, therefore were not "counted toward your degree"? Is Sloan asking you to remove/ignore the classes you took that were not associated with your major?
For example, I was in major AAA in first year, took 6 classes. I switched to major BBB in second year and none of my classes from AAA went toward the requirements for major BBB (so essentially I started all over again).
Appreciate any help.

Your question is admittedly unusual...it refers to all courses you took at your college. To be frank, I've never heard of a transcript just encompassing a major.
Is your college/university somewhere were major credits were the sole requirement for a degree? Most colleges/universities have an overall credit requirement (i.e. 120 credits over 8 semesters), where a fixed number have to be the major (say, 54). You may have started your major again but you didn't start college over again. They will want to see the transcript from all courses at your degree-granting institution.

Agree with brunojackson above - you should state the GPA that is listed on your transcript, the overall GPA from your time at the institution - since all classes are generally counted towards a "degree", your degree being a Bachelors or Masters. If you are from a country that doesn't list that, then I would contact the Admissions office to ask - they are very helpful and quick to answer these questions.
Additionally I am assuming you are referring to the self-reported GPA you enter into a box - I was told this is for data collection purposes and they go off your transcript, not what you self report (although both numbers should be the same). Hope this helps.
