<p>I was going to apply to NCF before I graduated HS, but at the time I was a nursing major and NCF doesn't cater to nursing. I have since switch to political scie and am actually doing what I love now. FGCU doesn't have a very strong pre-law community and even their honors program isn't all too challenging, so I've been pretty disappointed so far. I am wondering what NCF's acceptance rate is for transfer students and what is the difference in the applications for transfer and non-transfer students. I understand that NCF does not have actual grades, so how do they form a GPA for students, or do they? I am worried about this since my goal is law school, but I know that students do go on to graduate programs.</p>
<p>To transfer into New College you would need a strong GPA at your current school, solid recommendations from professors at your current school, and great SAT or ACT scores. New College never supplies a GPA, but many graduates are nevertheless accepted into law school. Your undergraduate major is irrelevant with respect to law school admissions, though you will want to have taken courses that will prepare you well for the LSAT. i.e. extremely skilled in reading, writing, vocabulary, analogy, logic and math. If you would have been a strong applicant as a first year, and subsequently have a strong record at your current school, you have a shot at transferring into New College.</p>
<p>With being a freshman, my professors barely know me, I think one knows me kind of well, but she hasn’t dealt with me as intensively as some of my high school teachers. When you transfer are you supposed to get recommendations from professors at your current school? I thought we were only supposed to get one recommendation and a corresponding form. Please correct me if I’m wrong, I don’t want to turn in the wrong things!</p>
<p>You will need to submit a recommendation from a professor at your current school. If that will be difficult for you, speak with your admissions representative at New College.</p>
