Ask an MBA Admissions Consultant

Hi All,

I am applying to Stanford and HBS Round 1 this year. Among many other questions I have is this:

I spent a year at a University prior to transferring to the US Naval Academy. At USNA you have to do all 4 years no matter what and I didn't have any classes from my previous University transfer to USNA for credit.

My grades at USNA were significantly stronger than at the previous University.

I am an older applicant (32) - spent the past decade flying F-18s and F-35s in the Navy.

Stanford requests that you list all education you have had since high school. It is unclear to me whether transcripts are required for work that did not contribute to your degree (Though I will have to provide ALL transcripts should I get in). Should I:

A.) List both schools and provide both transcripts? B.) List both schools but only provide USNA transcript (I have no problem providing official transcript if I get in, I just don't want it to negatively affect the application) C. Only list USNA (The other university was in 2003-2004 and seems irrelevant)?

Note, my GMAT was excellent so I feel confident in the admissions board having faith in my academic abilities.

Thanks!
