Does anyone know what the Barnard transfer college report involves? Is it something my current college needs to fill out, and are there particular sections I should be aware of? Any tips would be appreciated!
The College Report is a form that must be completed by a college official such as a Dean, Advisor, or Registrar from your current or most recent institution. It gives Barnard College insight into your standing at your current institution.
The form typically includes sections asking for details about your academic performance, disciplinary standing, and confirmation of whether or not you're in good standing at your current college. It's important because it gives Barnard College a third-party perspective on your time at your current school.
Here are a few tips:
1. Ask Early: Given that you cannot fill this form yourself, you should contact your chosen official as early as possible to give them ample time. Remember, they might be receiving numerous similar requests from other students.
2. Follow Up: Ensure you make follow-ups to confirm that they have submitted the form.
3. Check for completeness: Ensure they fill all sections of the form for a more comprehensive review of some of the metrics that Barnard College considers in their transfer application evaluation.
However, you should check the specific instructions given by Barnard College regarding the report, as particular schools may have specific requirements.
