<p>Hi I am a freshman in Southern Illinois - Carbondale, and I plan on transferring. I want to transfer to Cornell's engineering program and I don't know if I retake the SATs. I had poor scores and now that I'm out of high school I don't know if it matters, i thought they did because they still look at them. What about SAT II? I didn't take any and I think they need those.</p>
<p>I'd retake and take some SAT II's. I remember the Cornell engineering site highly recommended (but did not require) SAT II's. If you can score well, just take them.</p>
<p>As for the SAT I. Retake it only if you think you can score at least 100 points better.</p>
<p>thanks JohnM</p>
