<p>hey yall
does high school grades and S.A.T.s matter that much if u want to transfer as a junior to good colleges such as Georgetown or UC berekly, or even Columbia..</p>
<p>im about 2 be a sophomore in college
first year i kicked ass </p>
<p>4.0 1rst semester
4.0 2nd
and by the time i apply for Columbia (end of 3rd semester) i will have the same GPA</p>
<p>and i intern at a law firm</p>
<p>yall think i got a chance for schools like columbia</p>
<p>any suggestions?
do i have to submit my high school grades or S.AT?
thanks</p>
<p>You are not required for most schools to send in your SAT scores if you are applying for junior. However, the schools that you mentioned probably want to see some of your high school credentials, but won’t count as much as your college recored in the admissions process.</p>
<p>Many things are to be taken into account, such as the reputation of the university you attend, your courseload, and outside activities. For sophomore transfer, SATs and High School GPA have more bearing because you only have had one semester to show the universities your potential, whereas junior transfer, you already have had 3 solid semesters which paints a vivid image of the type of student you are and how well your competiting at the college level.</p>
<p>However, I hope you have some extracurriculars to go a long with your 4.0 GPA, because like high school, top schools are scouting for the well-rounded individual. They’ll gladly deny you for someone who has a 3.75-3.8 GPA but has leadership positions and other involvement at the university.</p>
