<p>You look solid in college, but your SAT and ACT are too low for all the schools you mentioned. I’d definitely retake it. What state are you a resident of (it may be harder to get in OOS to UNC, UVA, and WM, since they have quotas for their student body; a certain percentage has to be in-state)?</p>
<p>Standardized tests play a much lower role in transfer admissions especially for sophomore students and beyond.</p>
<p>The reasons students take the ACT and SAT are because they are supposed to be indicators of how well a student will perform in college. If you’ve already proven you can do well in college then they hold significantly less value.</p>
<p>One semester of college grades doesn’t eradicate 4 years worth of high school grades and extracurriculars. Your high school grades still count a lot towards a potential college admission. I think your chances are highest for Chapel Hill and Vanderbilt because they are both relatively transfer friendly schools. Good luck!</p>
