<p>I'm looking to transfer to a top 25 school (ideally UVa, UNCCH, and a handful of ivy's) and I'm curious if I should take these tests, and if so, which?</p>
<p>I'll be taking a 3.7, student government, congressional campaign leadership experience, and around 10 years of real life experience, including the army infantry and 2 kids. </p>
<p>The reason I ask is when I was looking at brown's transfer page it said the test results are accepted but optional, and duke says if you have been out of high school for more than 6 years it wasnt required.</p>
<p>I want to have as competitive an application as possible, obviously. </p>
<p>and I'm a native american, I think that has.some bearing in how competitive I need to be</p>
<p>It wouldn’t hurt to take both the ACT and SAT. Depending in your scores, it could work for you or against you. If they are good scores then definitely send them to the university. You want to make yourself a competitive applicant and you being native american may be considered depending on the university.</p>
<p>update: took the SAT yesterday. reasonable expectation of 1800+ … maybe close to 1900. fingers crossed.</p>
<p>1840 with a 530 math. over 1800, stoked, but my math really dragged me down. No worries though, I’m happy :)</p>
<p>Did you check if the schools really need an SAT? Google the Common Data Set for the school and look at section D to see what is needed for a transfer. With 10 years experience I doubt you would need the score at all. Look on the school web site for anything related to nontraditional students.</p>
