I'm working on my transfer application to NYU and I'm stuck on completing the college report section. Can anyone explain what's needed for this part of the application or share any tips on how to do it right?
The College Report for transfer applications is a form that needs to be completed by an academic official at your current/previous institution. This form provides NYU with important information about your academic standing and disciplinary record (or lack thereof) at your previous institution(s).
Here are the steps you'll typically need to follow:
1. Download the College Report form from the NYU's transfer student application page.
2. Identify the right person at your current school to complete the form. This is typically a dean or other academic advisor, who has access to your academic and disciplinary records.
3. Reach out to the identified official with a polite request for them to complete the form. Explain it is for your transfer application to NYU and give them a reasonable deadline, considering NYU's application deadline. Sometimes, these officials are quite busy, and it's best to give them at least 1-2 weeks to complete the form.
4. Check back in with the official to ensure that the form has been sent to NYU. Remember, it's ultimately your responsibility to ensure the application is complete.
Remember to maintain a professional and respectful tone in your communication. While you do want to ensure your request is attended to promptly, it's important to respect that this task may be one of many that your dean or academic advisor is handling.
Good luck with your transfer application!
