Transcripts

An undergraduate degree from an eligible NYU undergraduate school is required to enroll in the MBA program at NYU Stern through the NYU x NYU / Stern program. NYU Stern requires a self-reported or scanned transcript from each institution you have attended for the online application.

Do not send paper/official copies of your transcripts to NYU Stern at this time. If you are admitted, you will be required to provide official copies of your transcript(s) and proof of degree conferral prior to enrollment.

There are two options for submitting an unofficial transcript:

1. Upload a scanned copy
2. Complete and upload the Self-Reported Transcript Form below

Your self-reported and official transcripts will be verified. It is strongly recommended that you use your official transcript as a reference when submitting a self-reported transcript. The Admissions Committee reserves the right to withdraw an offer of admission at any time, prior to or after enrolling, if there are any discrepancies between the scanned/self-reported transcript and the official transcript.

International Applicants
You must use the Self-Reported Transcript Form if your original transcript is not in English.

Instructions for Using the Self-Reported Transcript Form

List the name and course number of each course exactly as it appears on your official transcript. If your transcript is not in English, provide an accurate English translation of the course title.
List the grade or mark for each course exactly as it appears on your official transcript. Do not reinterpret grades or convert grades to a different scale.
Include courses taken that do not contribute to your overall score/grade (e.g. classes that were dropped, withdrawn from, incomplete, taken pass/fail, taken more than once, etc.)
Carefully match the courses taken with the appropriate semester/term dates, exactly as they appear on your official transcript. Include terms for any summer, winter, transfer, exchange, or study abroad courses.
If you are in the process of completing a degree, please include the names of any courses in which you are currently enrolled and note them as "in progress."

Standardized Test Scores

Quantitative preparation is key for performance in MBA core requirements. All quantitative courses and grades on your undergraduate transcript will be carefully reviewed as part of the admissions process. These courses include but are not limited to: math, calculus, statistics, financial accounting, econometrics. If you have not taken quantitative courses at NYU, you may consider optionally providing a standardized test score to demonstrate quantitative proficiency. Please note that for some candidates without a quantitative background, a strong test score can strengthen their candidacy. For an idea of the typical test score range of MBA students, see our latest class profile. The application fee to the NYU x NYU / Stern program will be waived for all applicants who meet the eligibility criteria.
