<p>I'm currently a freshman at University of North Carolina Wilmington, and it is my dream to transfer to Wesleyan. I didn't apply there in high school, but now that I've experienced what I DON'T want my college experience to be like, I know that Wesleyan would be perfect for me. </p>

<p>I have a decent high school record; 4.5 weighted GPA, 8 AP's, but only average extracurriculars. What really worries me are my SAT scores (1940/2400). </p>

<p>My college record is good. I'm a psychology major, 4.00 GPA, I am a part of many clubs including academic, music, and sports. I volunteer at a hospice center. I have many credits from AP's in high school, so I have been able to take a lot of classes for my major already.</p>

<p>I planned to take the ACT, and when I did practice tests I have been getting 32-33, which is WAY better than my SAT score. However, there isn't an ACT test I can take before my application is due. I know my SAT score isn't a true representation of me as a student, which really worries me. Since their transfer admissions are so competitive, should I anticipate not being accepted? Thanks to all who answer :)</p>

<p>Don’t worry so much about the SAT, you’re a transfer student. I got in with about the same SAT scores as yours and lower GPAs in high school and college. </p>

<p>Just apply and put a ton of thought and care into your essays and do your best to make a strong case for transferring. Getting good rec’s and writing an excellent essay is far more vital than a test score.</p>
