I'm at a business school. Will SAT2 matter more for me??

Transfer Students

<p>Edit: My college GPA is strong. 3.90 as of now, and 3.92ish expected by the end of this semster. </p>

<p>Hi all. I am a sophomore at NYU Stern. After 1.5 years of painful experiecne, I finally realized that business isn't for me. I want to transfer now, to either Harvard, Yale or Amherst. I want to study IR or politics/History.<br>
My classes have been heavily business-related. But I took ONE IR class though, along with another 4 liberal arts courses (2 language (Japanese), 1 intro-level psychology, and 1 intro econ). No math or science. As you can see, I haven't had enough of 'typical' courses. I am taking next semester off, so no more courses can be taken at this moment.<br>
I am aware that standardized tests are not that important for junior standing transfer. But, will it be beneficial to take SAT2s to offset my lack of 'typical' courses? Like World History or US History?? </p>

<p>Scores from HS:
SAT1: V 680 M 800
SAT2: Math IIC 800 (this was 5 years ago, though) Chemistry 770 Writing 720
Well, I was kinda math/science guy at my HS. took AP CHEM (5), AP Physics(didn't take the actual exam tho, got an A), AP BC (5). </p>

<p>I would appreciate any input.</p>

<p>wow...sorry that I can't help but let me just say your credentials are beyond superior...I'm currently trying to transfer to NYU and your statistics are what I aspire to attain...</p>

<p>You should be fine...I wouldn't worry about retaking the SATs.</p>

<p>Thanks Yury and WindCloudUltra.<br>
WindCloudUltra, I see that you are a harvard transfer yourself. I thought taking SAT2s in my area of interest (WH or USH since I wanna do IR or Politics or History) would help my chances, and even more since i haven't taken that many liberal arts classes.. I am wondering if i'm mistaken.... could you elaborate on it a little pleaese?</p>

<p>.....what's so painful that makes you want to leave</p>

<p>I'm thinking of transferring to stern so I'm concerned lol</p>

<p>I wouldn't take the SAT II since you've already proven that you can learn material at the college level.</p>

<p>In your essays or in an attached statement, you might want to say that you've decided that you want a liberal arts education instead of a more specialized vocational degree. Trust me, those schools will not only understand but applaud. :-)</p>

<p>Thanks guys. There is nothing wrong with NYU. I just think business doesn't work for me.<br>
Any other input??</p>
