Question-Transfer

Transfer Students

<p>Are you allow to retake the SAT or ACT if your high school scores were not as good as you wanted it to be for the college you want to transfer to?
thanks,
i'm jw</p>

<p>I know you can take the SAT I through your second year of college, not sure about the ACT or SATII's, though.</p>

<p>Most colleges will accept scores from tests taken after high school, but check with each school anyway (I know that WUSTL doesn't).</p>

<p>It depends completely upon the college. I'm applying to NYU as a transfer and they don't except SAT scores taken after high school. But usually, unless they indicate a policy similar to NYU's, they'll most likely take your latest score, even if it was garnered in college. Many schools have cut-off dates for the latest SAT score they'll take, which is usually on their website.</p>

<p>Yep. That sucks. NYU doesn't either...out of the 8 schools I'm applying to, they're the only 2 that have a problem with it.</p>

<p>Actually, most colleges almost WANT you to take an SAT close to the time of applying so they can understand how much you have improved (or degraded) from high school--helps them to make a decision.</p>

<p>^^ Stanford & Berkeley are very big on this. They want you to retake SAT or ACT right before you apply.</p>

<p>Really? That's very interesting. And I think it's good...</p>

<p>Sofa, the former post is just one example of the many misleading posts you make with an air of definitiveness. Given that most of such posts were clearly wrong, I recommend either refraining from posting any more advice, or continuing to post such advice but with the caveat that it is likely to be false.</p>
