@giantsquid how you have listed your SAT score as a weakness I do not understand. I’m an econ student at NYU too; took a decent number of intro classses last year. perhaps we have seen each other.
@josh007 Hey! Nice to meet you! I listed it as a weakness because, as I now realize I forgot to mention, it was a re-take this January after a semester of college, so it should have been a higher score.
[sophomore transfer]
Current College: CUNY
Current Major: Applied Math
Prospective Major: MESAAS
1st Semester GPA: 4.0
Mid-term: 4.0 (hopefully)
High school GPA (UW): 3.5
ACT: 31
EC’s: pretty amazing and super impressive for the major.
Strengths: Essays, recommendations, college grades, rigorous college schedule
Weaknesses: HS GPA, ACT (gap year between HS & college, so this might be mitigated)
Has anyone gone online to check the application status/tracking page? For some reason most of my things have a red X and “Awaiting labels” including my writing supplement, secondary school report, etc. even though I have already submitted them all (and the page as well as the common app shows that I submitted my application/writing supplement over a month ago.) What about you guys?
Same here! I wonder if they haven’t just started tracking transfer paperwork yet.
@xnsch787 @loodik1 Mine says the same thing. I’m guessing they just haven’t actually updated the system yet. The application tracking just went live today so I’m going to give them a couple days before I start worrying
Also, do they track high school transcripts? It doesn’t have a status for mine. Did anyone have their high school transcript attached to their secondary school report? My counselor said she sent both through the mail separately…
@celinebentley @loodik1 well i suppose that’s a relief, haha! I’ll probably wait a few days to see if it updates at all before I decide to call over. Just wanted to make sure it wasn’t just me since all my other school tracking pages show that they’ve received everything already! Thanks!
@celinebentley checked it later today too, everything seems alright!
Yup, looks like they updated it! Thanks @celinebentley @loodik1
Do you think we can email a scanned copy of our application to the ugrad-transfer address or should we send a paper copy?
^ Why would we have to mail our app like that??
Oh sorry, I meant the midterm report.
Will it really hurt me if my dean sends the recommendation in around Thursday?
@20transfer17 I have faxed it
Is there any way for them to confirm receipt of the midterm report? I sent mine through the mail. If they don’t ever get it, will they just email you?
@loodik oooh me too! back in mid-Feb but it hasn’t been marked as received yet. do you see yours as received? i called them today and was told their sorting things out by the end of this week so i should check up again next week.
@jellymuffin What do you mean received? The mid-term report is not part of the list in their required documents on the application portal.
@josh007 oops, i was talking about my advisor’s letter of rec. totally misread the posts… seems like finals week is getting to me haha
