I was wondering if anyone knew if SAT scores had a big impact on decions for transfer students? During the Spring of 2015 my cousin passed away from cancer so my SAT score and grades from that semester were way below expected. I decided not to include it in my essay due to the fact that I believe that I have to deal with my actions even if there were barriers . UVA is my dream school and would do anything and everything to get in. The fact that those scores might be what ruins my chances with UVA is so stressful. Any advice?
Your college courses and grades will be most important in our review. SAT scores are important, but they don’t drive decisions the way many people say they do.
Thank you so much for that clarification !
