Hi all,
I will be applying Rd1 to M7 schools and have a question about undergrad study abroad transcripts. I did not receive any credit for the courses taken abroad, and they are not factored into my GPA. On my transcript, for the semester it just says "international enrollment" with no further information. Long story short, it did not affect my undergrad track because I was already ahead in my studies. I have had difficulty getting the transcript from the partner institution, but I do believe there is one available. However, the grades from the classes are all mediocre (studying abroad in Europe was a lot of fun!) while my overall ugrad GPA is 3.64.
My question is: is it worth trying to secure the transcript or writing about it in the optional essay? I'm sure adcoms will notice that there is a semester that just says "international enrollment", but I'm not sure if it is a red flag at all or not. If I am able to retrieve the transcript, how should I go about explaining that the credits did not transfer at all but I still had a terrific experience and actually did learn things while over there?
Thanks!
