SATs?

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hello everyone, I'm a prospective transfer applicant from SUNY Binghamton. I have some idea as to where I'd like to apply, but I would like to know some information about how much most schools consider SATs/SAT IIs. My top choice is Dartmouth (followed by UPenn and Duke). My SAT score is 2230/1510 and my SAT II scores are:</p>

<p>-Bio M- 750
-Math II- 760
-Chemistry- 720
-Physics- 740
-Literature- 670 (lolz)</p>

<p>I feel like they would help me, but by how much? I think my GPA will be high this semester (read: ~3.8+), would this put me in good standing?</p>

<p>Are you applying to enter as a sophomore or a junior? In general, the earlier you transfer, the more you high school data affects your application. If they only have 1 semester to look at, they’ll pay attention to your SAT scores. If they have three, the focus will be almost entirely on your college performance.
If you manage a 3.8+, you’ll be a decent candidate for Dartmouth, but you’ll definitely want some less choosy schools on your list.</p>

<p>I’d be applying to enter my sophomore year. My high school GPA could have been higher, which is probably why I got rejected the first time around.</p>

<p>Your scores are pretty average for those schools so they won’t be stand out but certainly won’t keep you out.</p>
