<p>Hi.</p>

<p>I am a junior student at USC, studying mechanical engineering.
I am considering about transferring to Stanford for mechanical engineering major. But I see that we need to submit the SAT scores to the application and honestly, I do not have a good high school SAT scores. Do you think should I retake the SAT exam? Honestly, I am not confident about getting a good high score. </p>

<p>High school
Non-Weighted: 3.97, Weighted: 4.25
SAT was: 1910
Reading 570, Math 760, Writing 580
SAT II: US History: 760, Chemistry: 750, Math IIC: 800</p>

<p>College
Cumulative GPA:3.77/ Major GPA: 3.89
Research experience
Work-study in Electrical Engineering Lab
President of a student organization
Participating in Outdoor Activity on campus</p>

<p>Comparatively, I have good college standings than I was in high school. I hope this can cover up some my low scores on SAT scores. Do you think I need to retake it? and if I need to, SAT again or ACT??</p>

<p>Also, about the recommendations from professors. I know one college professor from Virginia Tech who is really famous in United States. (Quite famous that he is on TV show) Do you think I can turn in a recommendation from him? Although he is not a faculty from my school, he has known me about a year. Please give me some suggestion on this. </p>

<p>Thank you to all.</p>

<p>Yes, if you are serious about attempting transfer to Stanford, retake the SAT. However, do note their transfer rate is about 2% at best–so you have a 98% chance at being rejected. Even if you manage a perfect SAT in your retake.</p>
