<p>Hey guys, I just applied to CUNY City College as a transfer student for their Mechanical Engineering program. On collegeboard.com it says that they do NOT require any teacher recommendations. I already sent my transcript and application in, now my question is would getting a teacher recommendation increase my chances of getting into the college? Or should I not even bother since it said that teach recommendations are not required? Also, would showing interest in joining there volleyball team increase my chances in getting into the school? How would I go about getting someones attention that I really want to go to this school and increase my chances?</p>
