<p>Under school forms, what on earth is the difference between the secondary school report, and the college official's report?</p>

<p>I'm trying to transfer. (by the way)</p>

<p>One you give to a college official, the other you give to your previous high school official (such as your counselor). That way the college gets both your high school and college records.</p>

<p>It says what to do right on the forms as well:</p>

<p>

@Secondary School Report

After completing all the relevant questions below, give this form to your secondary school counselor or another school official who knows you better. If applying via mail, please also give that school official a stamped envelope addressed to the institution you plan to attend.

@College Official's Report

After completing all the relevant questions below, give this form to a college official at your institution. If applying via mail, please also give that school official sealed official transcripts and stamped envelopes addressed to each institution that requires a College Official’s Report. This form must be completed by a dean or other college official who has access to your disciplinary record and to your academic record. If one person at your college does not have access to all of this information, please ask the official who can provide information about your academic record to first complete the academic portion of the form and then securely forward it to the official who can provide information about your disciplinary record for completion of these questions and for mailing to your colleges.

<p>That’s what I thought, but I just didn’t think it would be true. I’ve been in college for two years, but I still have to go back to my high school?</p>

<p>If the college you want to transfer to requires an official high school transcript, yes, you need to send the secondary school report.</p>

<p>For example, for Cornell:</p>

<p>[Cornell</a> University Undergraduate Admissions Office - HOW TO APPLY](<a href=“http://admissions.cornell.edu/apply/transfer/instructions.cfm]Cornell”>http://admissions.cornell.edu/apply/transfer/instructions.cfm)

College/Secondary School Transcripts and Standardized Tests
You will need to submit an official transcript of coursework completed at each college/university you have attended. In addition, Cornell requires a final secondary school transcript. If you have previously taken the SAT or ACT, then you should have an official score report sent to Cornell. It is not necessary to take the SAT or ACT if you have not previously done so.

<p>haha! so weird that you chose Cornell! That’s where I am applying to. It’s a sign. Thanks for the info. So do I just print out that page and bring it to my counselor and then mail it? Sorry for all the questions</p>

<p>Yes, although I would assume your counselor would mail the report after you give it to him (since he has to send your transcript and evaluation along with it).</p>

<p>You could also probably email/fax the report filled out with your information and signature to your counselor to send if that easier.</p>
