hi
I have major difficulties completing my self-reported transcript for NYU as I started my studies in 1996 and I can by far not remember all the classes that were tought in the first few years and by which professors etc. Furthermore, in the mean time the study system has changed completely and I cannot look at the current curriculum of first year students to help me remember my own schedule. How detailed have you guys submitted the self-reported transcript? Did by any chance someone from the University of St. Gallen already complete his / her self-reported transcript and would offer me some guidance?

thx

I must be honest I do not think that NYU really cares who lectured you when you were doing first-year English, alternatively, I don't see why it would matter. But in any event, surely your course schedule would have been on the net, together with information on the course and who took it. Yes 1996 is far back, but there should be archives, including archived past-papers which would mention who lectured the course.

Where you say "I cannot remember all the classes that were taught", why don't you have a look at your transcripts? Unless I'm missing something?

thanks for your reply.

I did of course look at my transcripts but where I studied they are not of much help because for example in the first year, the transcript consists of four subjects: economics, business administration, technology studies and law. Each of these for subjects then has been divided into two to five sub-subjects, e.g. for law there were classes in public law, administrative law and an introduction to private law. For each of these sub-subjects there have been lectures, exercising lessons and tutorials. Therefore my question mainly is: i) Is it sufficient if I just list the four main subjects as reported on my transcripts or will NYU then think that the schedule seems really incomplete? ii) Should I also list the non law related subjects in detail (e.g. for business administration: marketing, finacial accounting etc) and iii) is it required to list all different sort of classes for each sub-subject (e.g. lectures in marketing, practical exercise lessons in marketing where we did case studies (which you don't do during lectures at Swiss universities) and tutorials etc.
And if this would be required it is impossible to list it accurately from my memory, i.e. I would have to contact the university and ask them to provide me with copies from their archives. However, I feel that this is a bit exagerated but would like to know how other aplicants are handling this.

Well, if I recall correctly, the online application form says: all the grades that counted towards your degree.
I would do it like this (and I've done it so, too): list the lectures where you obtained grades that were used for calculating your final degree. And if you feel it is necessary, attach an additional sheet explaining your situation.

Good luck and hope to see you at NYU!

what u do is , in my opinion, duplicate what is written in ur transcript, all the courses that u were graded on (which have credit). Furthermore, even if there are courses which are general (not law related) u still have to report it IF it was graded (carried credit)
But I do not think u have to go into the detail of lectures etc.

good Luck!
