<p>Are they as important as they were when applying for freshman year or less so?</p>
<p>Depends where you are applying. Some schools dont even require it, but it is normally less important than it was when you applied as a freshman. They look at your college record as the most important factor in admission, but your SAT/ High school/ Work Experience/ EC also plays a major part ( or so they say)</p>
<p>It also depends on how many college credits you have. I am transferring as a junior with an Associate’s Degree and applied to NYU, Cornell, U of Maryland- College Park and SUNY Stony Brook and did not have to send my SAT scores to ANY of those schools. My college experience and what I accomplished there was enough. There’s a good chance your SATs won’t be needed if you have enough time in college already.</p>
<p>I thought test scores were required by NYU?</p>
<p>Depends on the school you’re applying to: some may not even require it; some may not count it much; some very selective schools may still put some weight in it, particularly as a check on your college gpa if your current school isn’t a well known quantity.</p>
<p>Depends on when you apply: If you apply as a soph transfer, it will usually count more than as a jr transfer.</p>
<p>I applied to NYU Steinhardt and all the paperwork said I did need to send the SATs but when I went to a college fair at the community college I was transferring from the NYU rep there said it really isn’t needed. I listened to him, didn’t send it and I got in so I guess he was right! I did have to send my HS transcript, though.</p>
