Default for transfering to another school . .. .

when i transferred, i just went to campus and got it all done in one sweep.... but, my campus is about 11 miles from my house so it was no inconvinience. if you cant do that, online is probably the easiest for now

For transfers, you don't need letters of rec but it definately doesn't hurt.

reason why i keep mentioning the recommendations is because i am basically alittle border lineing their average acceptances. i am above the requirement, but i just wanted to be able to "suck up" to them more, to have a better chance i guess.

If you feel like you can present yourself well, call the school, tell them you want to set up an appointment with someone you can talk to in admissions, ask if you should send in your transcripts ahead of time.

yea i think it depends on the unversity. FInd out if they accept letter of rec, and then do it if you are borderline.
