<p>Should I retake my sats (1390/1600, 2090/2400) if i am going to attempt to apply as a transfer to William & Mary, UNC-Chapel Hill and UVA (specifically William and Mary) as an out of state applicant</p>
<p>hs gpa 3.6 and I plan on working my arse off for a 4.0 in college</p>
<p>We need more information: How many years do you plan on staying?</p>
<p>Why do I ask? Colleges have different procedures depending on how many credits you've earned. For example, UNC does not require SAT scores if you will start as a Junior (60+ credits). They will look only at your college and HS transcripts at that point, with greater emphasis placed on the former.</p>
<p>And as a general point: contact admissions officers at these universities. Explain your situation and plans; ask them whether they recommend re-taking the SAT.</p>
<p>I would say don't retake the SAT. I got appx the same as you with a low-ish high school gpa, did well in my first semester of college and got into UVA and WM as an out of state transfer.</p>
<p>For transferring I'd worry more about doing well in college and ESSAYS! Essays show much more than SATs.</p>
<p>For UNC-CH, the school does not differentiate between in-state and out-state applicants for transfer students. Your chances of getting in UNC are pretty high as long as your GPA us good enough. They usually admit almost 40% for their transferring class.</p>
<p>Thank you all for the help
to reply to Jahn- I plan on staying at my school for a year and then attempting to transfer for fall 2009.</p>
<p>Would this be wise? Would it be better if i wait to apply as a second semester soph or a junior?</p>
