<p>I am 30 y/o and I am just about to get my AA from a community college with a 3.9 gpa. I want to apply to BC, BU, Babson and similar. My question is this, should I re-take my SATs? Obviously the one I took 12 years ago has absolutely no reflection on who I am today but I also don't know if college care about SATs when you've been out of school as long as I have. Any advice you could give give would be greatly appreciated as I am extremely stressed out.</p>
<p>definitely not.</p>
<p>Usually, the only students that need their SATs and other stuff thats highschool related is if they don't have enough college work and credit to be considered [ie. freshman transfers]. Another case would depend on the university of course. Check with the schools you're applying to - they can give you better advice than any of us can.</p>
<p>Thanks guys. I really do appreciate the advice. I think it says alot about somebody's character when they are willing to take time out to help to a complete stranger.</p>
<p>One thing you should consider, if you haven't aleady, is how many non-traditional students each college has, or if there's a specific program (IE. Bryn Mawr's McBride Scholars).</p>
<p>Even some undergraduates who are slightly older then average (mid 20s) have seemed to have a hard time getting acclimated to campus life when almost everyone else is in such a different stage of their lives.</p>
<p>If none of the schools you are looking at have anything specific in the area of NTS, I think you might want to consider a university over a college, just because there will be graduate students that will be closer in age to you.</p>
<p>I'm sure you've already considered a lot of this -- but I thought I'd throw it out there.</p>
<p>(PS - If you're curious, [url=<a href="http://www.collegeboard.com/sat/cbsenior/equiv/rt027027.html%5Dhere%5B/url">http://www.collegeboard.com/sat/cbsenior/equiv/rt027027.html]here[/url</a>] is a table that would convert your pre-recentered score to the new old SAT scores.)</p>
<p>no need to take them again. Even Cornell says that if you're an older student who either took them a long time ago or hasn't ever taken them, then there's no need to submit scores.</p>
