<p>Is it "safe" to take SATs while i'm in college if I want to transfer to Columbia (Like in Oct. this year to retake SAT)</p>
<p>It's very safe - most likely, you will not sustain any sort of physical injury by taking the SAT while in college.</p>
<p>Some say it looks bad and college admissions don't care, others say it doesn't hurt to improve your score. I vote that you retake it for a better score, but you should try to get in touch with someone at Columbia.</p>
<p>I vote that you get a 4.0 in college and say F you to the SATs.</p>
<p>But shouldn't I have a high SAT score? Don't the ivies look at SAT scores?</p>
<p>where do u go to school?
what is ur SAT score?</p>
<p>i think that'd help ppl answer the question better.</p>
<p>I am in a similar case... want to transfer to columbia.. but dont know whether to retake SAT or not.. heres my scores</p>
<p>sat1: 780 math, 460 verbal, 580 writing
sat2: 2c 800, physics 800, chem 770</p>
<p>should i retake?</p>
<p>anonamous, with those math/science scores I really hope you are trying to transfer to SEAS.</p>
<p>actually i am interested in physics major. anyway would it help if i retake my sat1? my verbal score stinks :S</p>
<p>there is no way u will get accepted to CC with those verbal and writing scores. SEAS will probably not take you either, they tend to cut u some slack in verbal but below a 500 is really pushing it.</p>
<p>so i should retake then? or is columbia just out of my reach?... :S</p>
<p>dude...i had a 1450 SAT, just missed 700 verbal</p>
<p>at another ivy, was waitlisted as a transfer to CC</p>
<p>i wish u the very best of luck</p>
<p>i didnt write my SATs in high school... applied only to canadian universities since im from ontario.: wrote SATs this past year. accepted to columbia college and other ivies/stanford.</p>
<p>i spoke to some people to transferred to ivies last year and they all said that as a junior transfer applicant, SATs are not very important. for people wanting to transfer into their sophomore years at another school, however, SATs are apparently very important... this is just me speculating.</p>
