Transfer to Yale? Help...

<p>Hello Bang and welcome to CC!</p>

<p>

I’ve already asked 4 professors and my dean about letters of recommendation

</p>

<p>You might want to reconsider sending 4 LORs from profs. Y asks for 2; they also ask for 2 teacher LORs for fr admissions and are pretty adamant:</p>

<p>

Is it OK if I submit supplementary letters of recommendation?
We strongly discourage students from submitting more than the two required letters from teachers and the letter from a guidance counselor or college advisor that accompanies the School Report Form. Additional letters can have the effect of cluttering an application file, often repeating what has been said elsewhere, and can leave a reader wondering which letters are the most important recommendations. Three, four, or even five letters from teachers rarely do more work for a candidate than two.</p>

<p>That said, we try to be flexible about the need, in isolated cases, for students to submit an additional letter. If you feel there really is a need to send an extra recommendation, one that will add substantially to your application, be sure it is labeled “supplementary” to avoid confusion.

1.) I have not taken the SAT/ACT tests as those requirements were waived as I came from Europe. Should I take them now?

</p>

<p>Are you sure that standardized tests are waived for your country? And if so, why do you want to know when to take them? </p>

<p>

International students are required to submit SAT I or ACT results unless they are studying outside the U.S. in a country without accessible testing centers (e.g. China and Iran). However, if you are currently residing or attending school in a country where the ACT with Writing or the SAT Reasoning Test is offered, you are required to take either test and submit official test results to Yale.

And will my having started college be a problem/factor?

<p>

And does anyone know where the material / forms are located on the site to apply or have they not been uploaded yet?
