<p>Hey I just wanted to know if I should send in a college transcript (since I took a couple courses at the local college while in HS). </p>
<p>I didn't do well at all in them and I am worried. Should I send the transcript to NYU in addition to my HS transcript? </p>
<p>Will it benefit me that i even took the courses or would it hurt my application? and will NYU average them into my GPA if they were academic courses? </p>
<p>Please help!</p>
<p>I wouldn’t send it. Given the facts you describe, how could it possibly help?</p>
<p>Thanks! But I also wanted to know, if I earned college credit elsewhere, like a Summer Program at a college, would that be a different transcript? In other words, could I only send that college’s credit and not the other local college credit?</p>
<p>Also, when I officially enter a four-year university, do I start a new transcript, like clean slate? If not? can I choose to like forfeit credits so they wont go on my college transcript? thanks!</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure they’ll ask for the transcript if you listed it anywhere on your application. If not, i honestly don’t think it will hurt. I got in ED and took a physics class at Northwestern and got a C. I think it shows initiative on your part (even if you didn’t get 100% - they know a highschooler won’t do as well as a college student). I would say send it unless you flat out failed. And every college’s transcript office works differently. If you took classes at colleges A and B and only wanted to send in B’s transcript, just don’t tell them you went to college A, or they’ll ask for proof. Hope that helps!</p>
<p>Thanks thats what I was thinking! If i dont tell them I went to college A, then they’ll never get the transcript. But while I still have two years to figure this out, do you think theyll average in my college chemistry grade with my other academic courses? because I do know NYU does this but Im just worried if I do decide to send in the college transcript, theyll average it in. Also, I plan on taking AP chem my senior year, so the grade wont be re-calculated by NYU but im just hoping they’ll see Im taking AP Chem and favor that credit over the college chem.</p>
<p>if you do joint enrollment as a senior, do you apply to NYU as a freshman, or a transfer student? </p>
<p>happy holidays :)</p>
<p>Freshman - its noted on their website. They say “If you have taken college courses during high school you are considered a Freshman applicant” </p>
<p>I also asked them if they ask for a college transcript if you did take courses during HS. </p>
<p>They replied saying that they understand High school students already have a large courseload and it is not asked for a freshmen applicant to submit a college transcript. However, I am wondering if its still benefitial to mention it in a resume…</p>
<p>you should definitely mention that you took them, and what courses you took, but i guess sending the transcript would be excessive</p>
<p>I disagree. If you did poorly, don’t mention it at all. They almost certainly will ask for a transcript if you bring it up.</p>
