College Official's Report

Transfer Students
1

<p>I have a problem with the college official's report. The college official said he didn't know me well enough and I asked him if he could evaluate me based on the merits of my academic record. However, he only put check marks in the good and very good boxes. (which makes the evaluation look extremely weak in my opinion)
but one of my professors said he'd have no problem just checking the one of the top few I've encountered boxes for the form because he has my best interest in mind. </p>

<p>But that professor is also the professor filling out my teacher evaluation. Should I print out a new college official's report and have another professor I know very well check them off? I don't think I can send it as is because the official's mediocre scores might detract from my chances of being a serious candidate, especially to the extreme reach schools I applied to (Brown, Cornell, Columbia)</p>

<p>From my experience most officials rarely know the student that well so i think they can assume that. As long as you have really solid recommendations and academics I think you should be fine.</p>

<p>Ok, I suppose it wouldn’t hurt my application to send the college official’s report in like that then huh?
Also what about my SATs? I last took them in October 2007 and I scored a 1900 (CR-600, Math-580, Writing-720), but I was told that if I want to get into Brown or Cornell (the top two schools I’ve applied to), I would need to raise them to around a 2100+. Is that true? Other people told me that I needn’t retake them because I’m transferring for junior class standing. What do you suggest I do? Should I register for the March 13th SAT?</p>

<p>well they would be right if you were a sophomore transfer but those schools do not weigh your sat scores heavily. Mainly your college work is the most important to these schools. what are stats?</p>

<p>The CA COR states (in BOLD):</p>

<p>To send the COR filled out by a prof is lying on your application.</p>

<p>did your official give the report back to you? I need to fax mine to 4 different schools, but im worried they are going to seal it up and send it off making me ask them to fill out three more.</p>

<p>my official did not give me the report back. He simply told me to write the schools i was applying to and he would send them all out</p>

<p>my understanding of the college official’s report is that it’s purpose is to tell admissions you’re in good standing at you current school and could stay if you wanted to</p>
