@thecitystars yeah, but I emailed my high school advisor and she said that she emailed the transcript to the NYU admissions email, so that should be taken care of. But in the envelope I sent out with my H.S. transcript, I also put in the Common Application Secondary Report, and that should have been sent but it got lost… Does anybody know if the secondary report is required??
The secondary report is required
@notnonchalant then I’m going to have to send this to my high school again for them to fill out and mail to NYU. This might take long and I don’t want this to affect my application Do you know if this form can be sent by email?
@cjeong98 I believe it could be sent by email
@nonchalant it’s on a pdf form, so do you know how they could type on it?
@cjeong98 my counselor filled the form on paper by hand and scanned it
NYU, per their website, requires:
- Common App plus $70 fee or fee waiver
- One Instructor Evaluation
- Secondary/High School Transcript
- Official COLLEGE report
- Official score report (ACT or SAT), if entering as a sophomore
- Official College Transcripts from ALL colleges attended
And recommends:
- One letter of recommendation from guidance counselor, if entering as a sophomore
And may request on a case-by-case basis:
- Midterm Report
NYU does NOT require the secondary school report for transfers. Only your transcript.
@notnonchalant that sounds like a good idea. I will email them again
I didn’t submit the secondary school final report and when i called to ask if my application was complete, the woman said it is and that they have all my documents. as @mjr2013 said, NYU doesn’t require it.
@cjeong98 It won’t hurt to send if it will make you feel better about your application, but the Secondary School Final Report is not a required document for transfer students. The college report is. If you have sent your final transcript from your HS, you never have to talk to your HS again.
Similar to annadragon, I received an email confirming they have everything they need from me and will contact me if they need any more information. No secondary report sent.
@annadragon @mrj2013 okay that makes me feel a little better ^^ I think I’m gonna have my high school advisor just to fill it out by hand, scan it, and then send it by email.
Yeah, I guess you guys are right.
I do remember I asked the admissions office if they need college report so I guess I just mixed up the names of the forms.
I looked up at the NYU website and in somewhere it says that they need high school transcript with the date of graduation or a graduation certificate, so I guess they just need to know that you graduated from high school.
Although I asked my high school counselor to fill the secondary report incase the AOs need it . So don’t sweat it @cjeong98
@notnonchalant yeah i sent the college report in, so that should be fine. Okay thanks
For anybody who applied to Stern, please read. Before I applied, I saw that Stern requires English at the College level, and I have credit from AP English, so I thought that would fulfill it, but the Admissions people say that AP credit does not fulfill this prerequisite, which I don’t get at all! But the thing is he said, and I quote “We won’t defer students from applying without those prereqs, but as mentioned on the page I linked to, it would be extremely hard to gain admissions without them as an external applicant.”
This kind of worries me
@cjeong98 If your high school is set up with an online website that sends out transcripts like my high school uses the Parchment company which can send our transcripts within the same day electronically. I’d definitely ask your counselor if they can scan/fax the transcript to you and you can send it NYU for sure rather than wait for your high school to do it.
@cjeong98 I also called the NYU undergraduate admissions and this advisor said that the secondary report is not required, only the college report and the midterm report. She said to wait until NYU sends you an email for missing documents just to be sure but she said it doesn’t hurt to send in all three.
But if the midterm report was required, wouldn’t there have been a checklist/checkpoint for midterm report like there is one for the secondary school transcript? Just wondering because I have everything checked off and have not received any emails regarding missing documents.
I think what they mean by college level is the English classes you’ll take in the actual college/community college you’re in. I may be wrong, but I’m assuming it’s similar to their SAT/ACT requirement for external transfers, and how the Liberal Arts requirements + credits only count if they’re from the institution you’re transferring from because high school credits won’t count anymore. I’m not sure if I explained this very well but I hope you get what I mean lol @cjeong98
@NYUhopeful_1198 i just called NYU and they do not require a midterm report but strongly recommend it.
