I have three(-ish) questions, thanks in advance.

Transfer Students
1

<p>I went to a state university (and only applied to this one and a back-up), due to certain circumstances, scholarship money, and family's convenience, as well as possibly finding a career path. Mostly due to family's circumstances though.</p>

<p>Schools I'm thinking about are Columbia (Seas), U Chicago, UC berkeley, Northwestern, Caltech, Cornell, MIT, (and just to see, Harvard, yale, princeton, dartmouth.)</p>

<p>1.) If I wanted to apply as a transfer student after my Freshman year at a state university, would I be able to retake the SATs during my Freshman year of college? </p>

<p>2.) Is it easier to transfer to CC or Seas for Columbia?</p>

<p>3.) Would I be able to use the common application online for Transfer applications?</p>

<p>Any other major tips, like should I apply as early as possible?</p>

2

<p>Harvard and Princeton are not accepting transfer students.</p>

<p>Columbia does not use commonapp.</p>

3

<p>Ah, duh, I read that about Harv and Princ, but totally disregarded it when i posted this, heh, thanks for reminding me.</p>

<p>Thanks, can anyone else offer insight about the standardized testing dilemma?</p>
