Question about College Official Report

Transfer Students
1

<p>This is probably just random paranoia, but my college official filled out my transfer report today. He ranked me "one of the top few encountered in my career," and, in all the other categories, lower at "outstanding (top 5%)." For the really competitive Ivies, will that factor in largely ? The written things are very positive, but I'm kind of wondering how they'll weigh it.</p>

<p>You shouldn't even know how your college official ranked you, as you waive ur rights of seeing the form after you sign it and send it to the official.</p>

<p>No. You have the option of retaining those rights.</p>

<p>Still, any idea ?</p>

<p>Whether you get in or not will not depend on which bubbles your counselor circled.</p>

<p>I'm just wondering how heavily it will be weighed.</p>

<p>Correct, you can opt to see the report before it is sent off. But, by not waiving your rights you are indirectly doubting your self and ur academic performance. Which may really hurt ur chances for admission.</p>

<p>There really is no proof for this.</p>

<p>Considering your chances will depend on your hs GPA, test scores, college GPA, EC, essays and your recommendations (and that the fact you will have multiple recommendations rather than just the one from your counselor), I wouldn't weigh that particular evaluation form even 2% of the final decision. And the difference between circling Very Most Bestest and Best on that form is thus negligent IMO....</p>

<p>What you are waiving is the right to ask the school to show you the document. I signed away my right but the teachers who wrote mine still wanted to show me. There is nothing wrong with that.</p>

<p>CX3: does your "college official" actually know you?</p>
