<p>I was considering applying as a transfer student to MIT but the one thing holding me back is my SAT score. </p>
<p>SAT-1830
570 Reading
700 Math
570 Writing</p>
<p>SAT II
630 Biology E
650 Math 2</p>
<p>I know these scores are very low for MIT standards but I was wondering how much the SAT score actually counts towards MIT transfer admissions. Before you answer, let me give you the whole story and other things I have to offer to my application. </p>
<p>In high I didn't really try and had a GPA of 3.73. After that I attended a community college and decided to try hard to get into UC Berkeley. I didn't think about applying to MIT until now but my SAT score is very low.</p>
<p>My current GPA is 3.92 with only a B in one English class. I am a molecular bio major so my prerequisite courses include physics, calculus, chemistry, biology and organic chemistry. Also for my extra curricular activities, I got an internship at UCSF straight out of high school where I participated on their iGEM team over the summer. iGEM is an international biology competition held at MIT annually. Our team went to MIT and ended up winning and award in our category of "Best New Application." We also got some certificates of recognition from the city, state and senate. After that I continued to work at UCSF during the school year under a post doc helping him perform experiments for his research. The following summer I was on the UCSF iGEM team again. During the school year following I continued to work at UCSF but under a separate project as directed by a project manager. I have been working on this project for a year now. So the bottom line is I have been doing laboratory work at UCSF ever since I got out of high school (by the time I start my fall semester at a university it would have been 3 years).</p>
<p>Taking my extra curricular activities and my current community college GPA into consideration, how much will my low SAT score really affect me?</p>
