<p>I was just on the NYU website and found out some discouraging news:</p>
<p>"If you are applying as a transfer student and you took either one of these tests while in high school, you should not retake the tests now; simply submit the results of your high school SAT I or ACT examinations."</p>
<p>I can't believe it. Transfer students are not allowed to retake the SAT/ACT in college if we've already taken them in high school? But the site says "you should not retake the tests NOW". Do you think they might ask you to retake the exam if they find you had a low score but have potential in all other aspects like GPA and E.C's? Thanks.</p>
<p>I just think this means that it doesn't matter anymore. The score you have is the score you will always have; it is probably weighed less than anything.</p>
<p>Exactly, they are just being nice. I wish other schools besides Cornell and NYU would do that. I am 26 and I need to take SAT in between O-chem exams and Linear Algebra. **** ty.</p>
<p>NYU will not take the results of any standardized tests taken while you are in college, and I don't think they would ask you to retake it. I aggree with AndrewUMass - it doesn't matter anymore. By the time you're in college, I think they figure that whatever the increase in your score, it was probably due the knowledge you gained in college. </p>
<p>I was struggling with whether or not to take the SAT/ACT again but have decided against it. Alot of schools use it to measure how well you will do in your college classes. When you're a transfer, they already know how well you will do based on your grades. Therefore, SAT scores can't tell them much. For NYU, they don't have the power to make or break you. If you have good grades, rely on those to get you in. If you don't, the SAT won't help.</p>
<p>I mean DON"T need. SAT sucks. Long live good GPA.</p>
