Should I take another SAT test even as a Transfer?

<p>I am an international Student already in the USA. But I am thinking of transfering for my sophomore year to another school that could offer a better scholarship.</p>

<p>I know transfer students don't need new SAT scores. But my score for my first year were pretty low, about 1650, though my present GPA is 3.8. But that couldn't possibly get me into Middlebury or UsoCal, could it?</p>

<p>So... What should I do? Do I take another test or just toughen up my essays, GPA and EC's?Every tip is welcome! Thanks!</p>

<p>As a soph transfer, your test scores are important, and a 1650 would be subpar for Midd or USC for freshman admissions, no less as a transfer. </p>

<p>So, if schools will accept a SAT taken in college, and if you have time to study for it and improve, then yes, I think you should retake it.</p>
