<p>I already attend a university but I was wondering if I can retake the sat and reapply to a different school.</p>
<p>2nd year and I really don't mind the entire process nor do I mind dropping all of my credits/starting all over. Just want to know if it's possible</p>
<p>(No transfer replies please)</p>
<p>You requested no “transfer replies” but the fact is, you can’t wipe clear the slate and re-enter the admissions process as if you had not taken any college classwork. Colleges will verify your background – both for classes taken and more importantly, any outstanding payments. You see why colleges do this: to not take in people who leave a wake of unpaid school fees.</p>
<p>Thus, this filter will prevent you from re-booting.</p>
<p>Well I know all previous college credits will still be somewhere in the background, but without any outstanding payments or such, there is no way to apply? Because I hear West Point won’t accept transfers and if you were to apply for West Point you’d have to drop everything and start new. This doesn’t apply for any other colleges?</p>
<p>I don’t want to carry all of my credits into a different school.</p>
<p>1) If you have completed any college credits during or after high school, you are obligated to provide copies of those transcripts when you apply. Period.</p>
<p>2) If you have completed any college credits after high school, you will need to ask each place that you apply to whether they consider you a freshman or a transfer applicant. Each makes their own policy so there is no way to predict. You have to ask.</p>
<p>3) Once admitted, each college or university will look at your transcripts and determine which (if any) credits transfer, and as what. Yes, it is entirely possible to be accepted as a transfer, but have not one single credit count toward the new degree. You can ask for an estimate of the transfer of your credits after you are accepted and you are making your final decision about transferring. Some places will send this evaluation along with the acceptance package</p>
<p>4) Because of their policy and/or structure, some institutions and some degree programs do require a full four years, which means that all students begin as freshmen regardless of previous college/university study. However, you still would need to send your transcripts from the other college(s) and university(ies) where you have studied previously.</p>
<p>5) You don’t necessarily get to decide which credits the new institution will use. They will tell you what is acceptable and as what. If you have 60 credits and they will only transfer 50, you may be able to negotiate as to which 50 of those 60 will be used. Usually a course in a major subject where a grade that is less than a C was earned will not transfer, and usually a course in an elective where a grade of less than D was earned will not transfer at all.</p>
<p>Your example of West point is a bad one b/c they have many things going on besides classes towards your degree – such as your standing in the corps of cadets and summer training. No, other colleges don’t demand you drop all previous credits.</p>

<p>If you have completed a full year of post-HS college, then you are considered a transfer applicant at any college in the US. No, it’s not possible to start over as a fr applicant.</p>
