<p>I called stanford today and asked if they recommended taking the new SAT 1. The guy replied "Starting this fall , we pretty much require that you need the new SAT 1 to apply." So those of you applying this fall as sophomores, get ready to take the New SAT 1 as well as two SAT 2 subject tests-Math 2 and another of your choosing. And the second subject test you take basically cannot be Math 1(Thats what the guy told me). Just wanted you guys to know. Good luck.</p>
<p>Just to make sure, you asked if <em>transfer applicants</em> needed to take the new SAT right?</p>
<p>^^^ yeah coz by the sound of it that looks like an advice for freshman applicants</p>
<p>yeah i asked about transfer applicants. Everytime i call i start my conversation with "I will be applying this fall as a sophomore student. I want to matriculate into my junior year at Stanford." So he definitely knew. I'll call them again right now to check though...</p>
<p>do call em and let us know...anyways if we take the SAT in college to Up the scores a bit it wont look somewhat unimpressive right???as SAT's are high school tests....</p>
<p>Anyways does anyone have any idea about the transfer courses approval thing....do all the stanford approved courses transfer if we get in.</p>
<p>I just got rejected off the waitlist from stanford yesterday :( ... its brutal. They said they filled up their transfer class. Good luck though, if anyone needs any advice you can PM me.</p>
<p>Ok i called again 30 minutes ago and left a message. The guy called me a minute ago and said 'Yes.Starting this fall, we are requiring the New SAT for transfer students.' I asked,'Even for students applying as sophomores?' - and he said "Yes." So unfortunately, we're going to have to take it.</p>
<p>arch- i'll be pm'ing you shortly.Have a couple of questions.</p>
<p>I just realized that I already took the new SATs...although I doubt I will apply to Stanford ever, it's good that I would still have a shot. The SATII requirement, or recommendation, is kinda stupid but oh well. Thanks for following up DUDE.</p>
<p>well, I guess I can scratch out Stanford on my list of prospective transfer schools.</p>
<p>thx for the info btw, saved me $$</p>
<p>Yeah for real...but what if all of the other schools do that too?</p>
<p>Wait... so even though I'll have spent two years in college, they'll still want me to take the new SAT? Even though I'll be tranferring into a class that didn't have to take it? </p>
<p>And aren't SATs are designed to gauge how you'll do in college? So why would they even want my SAT scores if I've already been in college?</p>
<p>Hm well I may just end up not applying to Stanford...</p>
<p>Yeah i'm in the same situation as you. I'm transferring into a class that had to take the old SAT. But Stanford said we have to take the new one.</p>
<p>Then I'm definitely not transferring to Stanford. That's ridiculous.</p>
<p>Yeah, it's their loss. It really is.</p>
<p>Did you call any other schools with that question?</p>
<p>vcoleman- i dont think you should worry about any other school. Stanford is probably the ONLY school with this policy lol.</p>
