<p>Hi guys,</p>

<p>I'm getting ready to apply to again as a sophomore transfer from Emerson College (I know, it's a lot):</p>

<p>Villanova
Northwestern
USC
Vanderbilt
UNC
Notre Dame
Syracuse
Cornell</p>

<p>I currently have a GPA of 3.85 my first semester in college, which I guess is decent. BUT, will my high school SAT scores hurt my chances at these schools? I got a 630 CR, 660 M, 740 W= 2030/2400.</p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated!</p>

<p>Also, should I retake the SATs if my score isn’t good enough?</p>

3

<p>what is your major … that will make a huge difference</p>

4

<p>GPA is good but the sat math+verbal is on the lower end for Northwestern and Cornell</p>

5

<p>You don’t need to retake your SATs, they aren’t that bad. I’d say you have a decent shot at most of those schools.</p>

6

<p>What was your HS gpa? That will matter since you’re applying for sophomore year</p>

<p>my major is multimedia journalism, mostly broadcast. my HS gpa was a 3.6 UW and a 3.8 W. thanks for any other help!!</p>
