<p>I understand you need to show the grades you receive for your first year of college but how about high school and senior year?</p>

<p>Also, my plan is to go to NYU Steinhardt for a year and then go to Cornell. Are there any cons or negatives to my plan that anyone can think of? I could go to Bing but i think NYU would be a better experience for a year and money is not a factor.</p>

<p>Will NYU Steinhardt have the courses i need to take? Is nyu particularly hard to get As in? Are there grade-deflations, grading on a curve. etc.? thanks in advance!</p>

<p>yes to HS transcript. At NYU, take standard “101” classes that will easily transfer.</p>

<p>What do they look at on your high school transcript ?</p>

<p>Do they give GT’s for spring semester of freshman year</p>

<p>on the high school grades transcript, they seem to single out the high school grades.</p>

<p>You are not “applying” for guaranteed transfer (GT), you are applying for transfer, right? GT is given during RD to students they didn’t room for. </p>

<p>As a GT it is important to match up Cornell required courses vs what is offered at the school you want to attend while you are waiting for the transfer. </p>

<p>As a regular transfer applicant, it is important for Cornell to see your high school final transcript to see how you performed in high school and your college transcript. Your first year college good grades won’t necessary wipe out your bad performance in HS (if that’s the case).</p>

<p>The question was if you are offered a "transfer option " as an RD applicant , do they still look at and consider your senior year grades from high school ( 8th semester-the only one they don’t yet have) or do they only look at your grades from your first two semesters in the college you attend before you request and they grant you the GT transfer</p>

<p>Off top of my head, I would say yes. The reason is as a GT, a student still needs to demonstrate he/she has continued same level of performance senior year, no different than a RD student. I am sure Cornell would want to see a student has actually graduated from high school too.</p>
