Although I think that I am doing pretty well in college as far as grades go, I am a bit worried about how the Swarthmore Admissions board will react to my average high school grades (my best guess is 2.5) and my average SAT score of 1380. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could assess my chances of transferring there and perhaps offer some tips on how to wow the admissions board despite my average test score. Currently I’m a sophomore at a 4 year university.
I would love nothing more than to be accepted by Swat, so I really appreciate it if anyone would chance me because I’ve already created several similar threads on this site with no response.
Can/ should I retake the SAT to get a better score? Is that possible to do so (I’m 19-- I don’t know if there is an age limit or something)?
