I am a Mechanical Engineering Sophomore, and I was required to report my SAT scores in my transfer application. I have done great in college by having a 3.98 GPA in a top 40 Engineering Program, but my SAT scores are not that great. I took the SAT once, as an International student, and scored 800 in Math, 550 C.Reading, and 670 in Writing. Would that have any impact on my application? Should I consider the possibility of retaking this Exam?
I’d send the scores that you have, if required. Then I would retake the exam, but submit the scores only, if you do better. That way your old scores are the “worst” case scenario. That being said, I don’t think your scores are too bad, especially since its been a long time since taking them. You’ve proven yourself in college and I think that will be the biggest factor. Possibly, having a recommendation from an English professor might help as well.
The Ivies do consider high school GPA and test scores for all transfers.
