How Courses Show Up on UG Transcript Forum

[JJSpring2015]

This may be a weird/dumb question, but it is something I have been thinking about lately. Taking a brief detour from talk of GPAs and LSATs, I was wondering if anyone knows how courses are reflected on their transcripts. A lot of my strongest grades in college were courses that were English courses, but cross-listed with departments like Music, Spanish and Asian studies, etc. On my transcript they show up as Music, Spanish, Asian studies and I don't have any courses on my transcript listed as English because I never elected to switch them to English when I was in UG.

Do you think this will really matter to Adcoms? Do they see course descriptions, or other cross-lists, etc? Otherwise, how will they really know what types of courses students are taking when they are less straightforward course topics? I guess a positive for me would be that they will look at me as having 'intellectual curiosity' lol...but how will they be able to appreciate all of the writing I did in these courses...I guess some courses may just sound like they have a lot of writing/research, but still.

They don't give a fuck. All they care about is LSAT and GPA.

They only see the GPA

They get your transcipt so they will see whatever information your UG includes on there. For most, that would include the course name and grade. But like the above posters mentioned the LSAT and overall GPA is what is most important.
