<p>Bump…</p>

<p>What’s McIntire?</p>

5

<p>Oh. It’s UVA Business Undergraduate School. (UVA being University of Virginia)
Thanks</p>

<p>Apparently they take few transfers, but your resume looks very good! I would say you definitely have a shot.</p>

<p>Actually, I’m not sure if this is a deciding factor, but you probably should take the SAT again. 560 and 600 are a bit low.

<p>Why don’t you post this question over on the UVa Forum and see whether Dean J will answer the question about how important SATs are for transfer students?</p>

<p>@UVAHoo87:
Hi there! To my knowledge, SAT is not required but recommended. I know a friend without SAT score who got into waitlist and then got admitted. In addition, I can not take any SAT now since the deadline is coming close. I just took my second SAT in late Jan.
I have already asked Ms Hessing who is responsible for transfer process about my low SAT score. She said my score is fine.
I’m worrying about my essays, since my SAT essay score is only 6/12 and I’m not good at writing. That’s why I created this thread, to ask for opinions.
Thank you very much for your input.</p>
