How much do extra curricular activities affect the transfer process?

Hi,

Does anyone know the “order” of which a transfer prospects application is looked at? Obviously I would assume that grades come first, but would a well written essay make up for a not so impressive activity count?

Thanks

It usually starts off with the transcript, followed by your activities, essays, extra essays then recs. However I read on NYU’s admission blog that it really depends on the reviewer.
