Transfer or Retake?

<p>Hello,
So I really really want to go to Georgia Tech.
Although my High school GPA is pretty good.(3.79) my SAT score is sub-par (1550). I've only taken one AP class which I got and A in and a 3 on the AP Test. I've taken many tech and computer classes(won many computing awards) and was even in the Tech club in school. I know my SAT is not enough to get in right now,but I was thinking if I retake it for a higher grade my chances would increase. I've been out of high school for almost a year.(got into SCAD dropped out because of money issues)</p>

<p>Also, I was thinking of going to Georgia Highlands or Southern Poly Technic first, to take the core classes that transfer THEN apply to GA Tech as a transfer, but I'm not sure
Should I retake the SATs and apply as a freshman or go to a college then transfer?</p>
