<p>I am currently on the waitlist for Columbia. If i don't get through and end up going to a state university, i will probably try to transfer to either columbia or harvad.
Should i retake the sat's if I have 2150? and 790 and 740 for subject tests?
I thought its easier to get in through transfer than freshman(less competitive students)??</p>
<p>Also, harvard says that submitting 3 subject tests is optional, but i only took 2. Will it hurt my chances if i don't submit any subject tests?? i mean they wouldn't want me to submit 2 out of 3 preffered tests. What should i do??</p>
<p>from what i’ve heard its harder to get in as a transfer…because so many people apply for so few spaces(these competitive schools have high freshman retention rates, so its not like that many people leave to make free spaces for transfers to fill).</p>
<p>transfer is always harder. i want to transfer to columbia too from Northwestern. </p>
<p>My SATs are terrible. Which is no surprise I got rejected this time around. </p>
<p>So why don’t you want to submit 2 scores? Isn’t that better than submitting none?</p>
<p>what are your sat scores mediopollito??</p>
<ol>
<li>And I’m Chinese, which doesn’t help. I got into Northwestern because of my ECs/grades/recs. My highest SAT Subject Test score was a 730.</li>
</ol>
<p>is SAT required for the majority of the top 30 schools (transfer)?</p>
