Retaking the SAT

<p>Hi everyone..my SAT scores were pretty average..around 1300ish on the old SAT..and I would like to know whether the Ivies like Yale and Harvard allow me to retake the SATs for me to improve my scores...I know that Stanford does...</p>

<p>definately do...but this new SAT deviates heavily from your conception of the SAT...so I'd recommend taking a course....I myself recommend Kaplan...it helped me alot more than the Princeton Review course, and I only finished 3/4 of the Kaplan Online....raised my score 100 points on the old SAT, and i have no doubt in my mind that if I'd have actually put my all in to it, I'dda been able to raise it MUCH higher.</p>

<p>does it look bad even if you re-take the SATs for transferring and do really well but had poor scores in high school?</p>

<h2>I recently emailed the Chief Transfer admissions counselor at UVA regarding SAT scores and got the following response:</h2>

<p>Thank you for your email.
Those scores are just fine for transfer admission. I would not retake the exam. We are looking mainly at your college work (grades and courses) in our review.</p>

<p>Best wishes,
Greg </p>
