Awesome application w/o NO SATs ?

<p>Hey People I graduated from HS abroad therefore have no SAT Scores.</p>

<p>So If I would have good GPA, ECs,Research, and other things</p>

<p>[Awesome application but with no SATs, Where Can I transfer from top 25(30).</p>

<p>How valuable is your SAT score on your application if you have already been in College for a year? 3 or 4 semesters?</p>

<p>Hi kamrantx,</p>

<p>I was accepted as a transfer student to Cornell-Arts and Sciences without any SATs.</p>

<p>I applied for transfer during my 3rd semester in college.</p>

<p>I thought SAT’s were mandatory for Cornell? intersting</p>

<p>^ Even if you have taken the SATs, you are not required to submit your scores. I think the vast majority of accepted transfer applicants have taken the SATs. Nevertheless, If you have a good application and have a valid reason for not taking the SATs, then you still have a decent chance.</p>

<p>OMG,</p>

<p>Your post just cheered my obsessed day. MAn, Can you give me your stats
Ex-College/Gpa/other stuff.</p>

<p>I hope one day someone will ask for my stats too as a Top School Transfer)))</p>

<p>LOL, it took me a while to find this. Anyway, here are my stats. Although stats are important, I think Cornell is looking for unique individuals with interesting backgrounds. Some people with ~4.0s get rejected, while some people with 3.6 get accepted. So, it’s not only about numbers. </p>

<p>Canadian, Male</p>

<p>Wayne State University (WSU): Applying to Cornell
Reasons for transfer-
The place I am in right now really sucks. Academically speaking, I can’t stand the school’s atmosphere because I feel as if half the school is academically ■■■■■■■■. I really didn’t want to enroll at WSU in the first place; I attend WSU because of my financial/family situation. I have always attended schools which were respectable and intellectually challenging. I feel as if attending WSU limits my chances of success and does not allow me to achieve my full potential.</p>

<p>High School-
GPA: 82%(cumm)~3.7 and 89%(senior year)~3.9(Grades were a bit low because I was involved in an “Enriched” program)
SAT/ACT scores: I didn’t write either of the tests because it was not required of me as a Canadian student.
EC’s: I joined a bunch of clubs and was partly responsible for organizing some large events like “Relay for life”. I also did a bit of volunteering around the community.</p>

<p>College-
Major: Honors Chemistry/University Honors co-major (pre-med)
Credits: 60 including this semester
GPA: 4.0
EC’s: Most of my EC’s are academic based. I have joined a couple of minor clubs but I wouldn’t say I am a “hard-core” member. I currently work as an undergraduate researcher in molecular genetics at the BIO department. I also participate in a couple of cultural organizations within my community.</p>

<p>Recommendations: I sent 2 recommendation letters(you only have to send 1). One from a previous English prof. who told me that I was his best student in 30 years, and one from a calculus professor who (I think) really liked me.</p>

<p>Did you do the interview? If so, was it done online or in person?</p>

<p>Hey zakaqel.</p>

<p>But What About Financial matters? Do they cover tuition for Transfer?</p>

<p>And what criteria qualify you as eligible for financial aid?</p>

<p>Do They Take Spring Transfers?</p>

<p>Do you know the preqs for acceptance in College Art and Science?</p>

<p>So Far The Univ with no SAT requirement for transfer</p>

<p>Washington U St Louis</p>

<p>Cornell</p>

<p>John Hopkins</p>

<p>Berkeley UC</p>

<p>UCLA</p>

<p>Michigan U</p>

<p>U Southern califrona</p>

<p>U of Virginia</p>

<p>Most colleges and universities do not require scores from standardized tests (ACT, SAT, SATII, etc.) if you are a transfer applicant who will enroll there after completing two full years of college coursework. Some won’t require these scores if you will enroll after you have completed one year of college coursework. You have to read each institutions’ website to find the specific policies that affect you.</p>

<p>You might also take a look at the list of no-test, and test-optional colleges and universities at [The</a> National Center for Fair & Open Testing | FairTest](<a href=“http://www.fairtest.org%5DThe”>http://www.fairtest.org) for some more ideas.</p>

<p>SMCguy:</p>

<p>Interviews are only required for people applying to Hotel Administration, the architecture program in the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning, and the School of Industrial and Labor Relations. </p>

<p>I applied to CAS. I’m not sure, but I think some people did their interviews on the phone. </p>

<p>kamrantx:</p>

<p>If you are American, Canadian or Mexican, you are eligible for FA. If your parents make less than $75k/year, the vast majority of your expenses will be paid for by FA.</p>

<p>Cornell takes Spring Transfer students.</p>

<p>There are no specific prereqs if you apply to CAS. Just make sure you have some coursework that relates to your prospective major at Cornell.</p>

<p>What If More?</p>

<p>I know Rice has such thing, when You can Work and your loan for 4 years will not exceed 10ks, are other colleges has such thing?</p>
