Rejected from Brown: UVA vs. Binghamton vs. Gap Year or Transfer

The SAT did not hold her back at all and there is zero point in retaking it. The only reason for a gap year is if she cannot see herself at either UVa or Binghamton. Starting at a school you don’t want to be at and that you are already talking about wanting to transfer out of before you have even stepped foot on grounds is , in general, not the best way to start off your college experience. And potentially costly for her family.
