Right now, I go to a local commuter school that I'm pretty unhappy with. I never wanted it in the first place. My road to college has been a long and bumpy one but I'll spare you the dramatics and give you the bare essentials. I was initially going to be a musical theatre major but, unfortunately, was not accepted into any of the performing arts programs, was accepted into a few of the schools academically and was placed on the wait list (eventually rejected due to space limitations) for my top choice school. Now, still unsure of my major and whether or not I should bother auditioning again, I want to transfer out of this commuter school to a university that I feel is actually worth the thousands of dollars that I'm going to have to pay.  

A Dean's Evaluation form is required with the transcript that I have to send to the university. The problem is, I have to wait until after the first semester to apply because, you see, I don't have an official transcript yet - I'm only a first-semester freshman. As for the form, the only Dean that I know exists at my school is the Dean of Students but I'm not entirely sure. Would this be the Dean that must fill out my Evaluation form? Also, where would I go to ask the school to send a transcript to the university?

Any help or advice that can be given on the transferring process in addition to these questions would be greatly appreciated. I feel pretty alone in this process. Thanks!

Why don't you just complete your General Ed. requirements at the commuter school? You'll save money.

I'm transferring out after my first year, so I'm taking core courses to try and satisfy those general education requirements. At the same time, I'd really rather not stay. There's a variety of different things running rampant in my head right now; I just wanted to apply as early as I can so that I can try and secure campus housing.

Well, stick out the first year. Most universities require a certain amount of credits before you can transfer them. If you have less than a certain amount of credits from the commuter school, you may not be able to transfer any of them. You have to check with the new school you plan on transferring to. Also, there is usually a Dean of every department. Get an evaluation from the Dean of your current major at the commuter school.
