<p>Hey all,
i was just wondering if all schools required the ACT or SAT's in order to transfer as a Junior into colleges ?
Cheers.</p>
<p>No. Heres one...University of Illinois.</p>
<p>A lot of times, it depends on the major/school within the university you are applying to. For instance, Emory College at Emory University requires all transfer students to submit SAT/ACT scores, if they haven't been taken within the past five years, then they must be retaken, or the application is not considered complete. However; Emory University's School of Nursing, does not require SAT/ACT scores or high school transcripts for any students.</p>
<p>This really means as a transfer with a 3.7 cGPA with 60 credits.and superb references and EC's. i wont be totally tossed if i don't have SAT scores or ACT scores ? true.. or is it to my advantage to study for the ACT and write it ?</p>
<p>SAT is only a predictor of how you will perform during your freshman year; beyond that, I do not think it is decisive in any manner.</p>
<p>however, most top-tier schools suggest you send in your sat scores or you have the option of re-taking them, sending them with updated info. my advice is take them all if you want to get into privates.</p>

<p>A lot of schools require one to send their scores, but that does not necessarily mean that they give it weight.</p>
<p>Does having studied through Extension Studies or Continuing Education work against you ? i'm thinking not.. since i'm non - trad 24 year old .. what do you guys think..?</p>
<p>what about UC transfers? is there certain UC's that require SAT/ACT scores?</p>
<p>Thye best way to find out the university specific information is to read their own guidelines and regulations.</p>
<p>does that mean I have to take the sat even though I plan on signing a tag?</p>
<p>Manjot, no you do not have to take the sat, act or any other test when signing your TAG.</p>
<p>None of the UC's require SAT scores for junior transfers.</p>
<p>It really depends on the college and how many credits you have. It can also depend on whether or not you are coming from a community college, have been out of high school for a certain number of years (usually five or more), are considered an adult or nontraditional student, have a certain college GPA, have completed certain courses, are a veteran with a certain number of years in service, or received a GED instead of a high school diploma. Homeschoolers are also often asked to submit, even as transfers.</p>
<p>I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the majority (though not most) don't require them for juniors. However, the only thing making me say that is my own experience, not some actual stats.</p>
<p>Some schools that definitely do (or I'm pretty sure do) require them for juniors: Wellesley, Trinity, Wesleyan, Brandeis, Brown, Barnard, Syracuse, Fordham, Vassar, Marlboro, Emory, Chicago, Southern Methodist, Pomona, Stanford, and Drew.</p>
<p>Some that don't require them of juniors (same caveat as above): Smith, most (all?) of the SUNYs, Wells, NYU, Dickinson, UHart, Cornell, Marist, UConn, UNC-Chapel Hill, Amherst, UW-Madison, Johns Hopkins, Harvey Mudd, Whittier, Claremont McKenna (community college students only), Case Western Reserve, Roger Williams (community college graduates only?), Sage College of Albany, Lakeland, Caltech, Arizona State (depending on whether or not you've finished certain courses), Lesley College, Santa Clara, and Azusa Pacific.</p>
<p>Bates, Bowdoin, Middlebury, Wheaton (MA), Mount Holyoke, and the other test-optional schools of course don't require them for transfers, just like freshman. (This could be where I'm getting the impression that the majority don't require them from, since several of the schools I'm applying to are test-optional.)</p>
<p>Tufts also "expects" that transfers will submit, though they'll consider those who don't. (Harvey Mudd is the same, plus they "expect" math and science SAT II scores.) You're put a little below the other candidates, however, if you don't give them your scores. This is true at many schools.</p>
<p>Connecticut College requires either two (or more) SAT II scores or ACT scores; the SAT I is optional. For some schools, like Middlebury as one example, AP/IB scores can stand in place of SAT/ACT scores for freshman, though I'm not sure about transfer admission.</p>
<p>ARe you serious that NYU, Cornell, UNC-Chapel Hill, and Johns Hopkins don't require sat scores for junior transfers? I'll have 60 + units when applying to those schools. DOes that depend on majors, lets say you were a philosophy major?</p>
<p>Checking admissions websites, especially if you've already decided you're applying somewhere, never killed anyone. ;)</p>
<p>Cornell: Required only if you've taken them before; ask about waiver otherwise.
UNC-Chapel Hill: Only required for sophomore applicants.
Johns Hopkins: Optional, and no minimum score if you choose to submit.</p>
<p>I was wrong on NYU -- you'll need to submit there. When I asked them personally, they told me I didn't need to submit, but I have interesting circumstances that probably had something to do with that.</p>
<p>I know this is old but Fordham does not require the SAT after your freshman year</p>
