<p>I'm applying to transfer to NYU for spring 2010. i'm done with the application but I notice that under the forms, there is a Secondary School Report. I know this is really late, but am I supposed to send it to my high school counselor to have her fill it out? I assumed that since it was for high school, this form is only for first-time college applications. As a transfer applicant, do I have to fill it out as well?? </p>
<p>THANK YOU!!!</p>
<p>I applied to Boston College which is also on the common app and i asked a admission rep and she said that Transfer dont need to fill out that form, but maybe its different with NYU but i doubt it.</p>
<p>From what I understood, If you are more than X years out of high school (depends on school), you do need your secondary school report. I know NYU does.
I would go ahead and check
Transfer candidates for undergraduate admission must submit the following:</p>
<p>Here’s is the stuff you need for your application (From the NYU website):
“Application for Admission to Undergraduate Study and nonrefundable $65.00 application fee ($75.00 for applicants outside the U.S.)
Official high school transcript (and Equivalency Diploma test scores if applicable)
Official transcripts of all college work for which academic credit has been earned
Official score reports for the SAT Reasoning Test from the College Entrance Examination Board or the ACT from the American College Test Assessment Program
Teacher Recommendation Form
Personal Statements/Essay”</p>
<p>So I think it is a little late since Nov 1st is tomorrow.
Just call them and see if there’s anything you can do about it…</p>
<p>Send it, for a couple reasons:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>By sending as much (relevant) information about yourself as possible, it shows the admissions department your intent, as well as your likelihood to commit if accepted (this can be a tipping point, as they like to have a high yield of transfers who commit).</p></li>
<li><p>It gives them a better understanding of who you are, what student you are, etc, especially if you’re an early transfer, because it allows them to accurately gauge who you were and how you performed in HS, if your college time is limited.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>This form becomes less useful if you’re beyond a sophomore transfer, where you have enough of a college record to see “how you will do in college”.</p>
<p>It’s a little late, but the deadlines mostly apply to when the main application is submitted, there’s always a grace period in getting the rest of the documents in, which is why there’s a “period” of when people are informed of their acceptance or denial.</p>
