I didn’t get into the college of my choice because i had a low sat score, the rest of my application is pretty good.
Is it better for me to transfer to a college or take a gap year?
What organizations accept intl students for exchange programs/ jobs for the gap year?
How difficult is it to get into a top tier college as a transfer?
I am also in the same situation? I also applied for financial aid which made my chances very slim and got rejected>
Be aware that an international transfer can’t get any financial aid (and no merit offers either). If you’re full pay regardless, it wouldn’t matter, but if you need scholarship, the only choice is a gap year. In addition, it’s MUCH harder to get into a top college as a transfer.
To be very honest, transferring to top tier schools can be very very tough because there are limited slots, and a lot of students like you trying to apply again and see if they get in.
However, if you take a gap year, and try to improve your SAT score, maybe that could help you in getting into your top choice college.
But if you do not want to take a gap year, you can just go or the colleges that you applied to, if it is decent enough.
Best of luck in whatever you do!
