<p>I agree with hnbui's statement, but I guess my definition of "frowned upon" is different from his. His use of SAT level words, though making his post not sound contrived, definitely added to his keen analytical ability...</p>

<p>Edit: Upon further thought, I find it amusing that a college application would even have the words "frowned upon" inscribed on it; if one yields to common sense, concluding that the SAT has no negative effect lacks any sort of plausibility unless substantiated by some sort of evidence. This is what prompted my warning to the thread poster to actually search for more reliable sources.</p>

<p>Think about it, if something was frowned upon, what colleges put it on an application? No. This is how companies make money from making books that advise students as to what is frowned upon so they do not replicate those mistakes...</p>

<p>Okay Ivy's are very competitive, and when it comes to transfers---all the more so, take please take the SAT's over again, your nit-picking of the language used on one application on the one of the potential schools your hoping to apply to may speak to a reluctance to study and retake them, but BUT if you want to be competitive retake. Your competing against Adult Learner's with lots of experiance --some runing sucessful companies, or working in respectiable industry. And student's from top colleges even other Ivy's who maybe didn't make the cut the first time and are reapplying after succesful college experiences. If you want to go to an Ivy you've got to do the work, make the sacrifices hustle man! HUSTLE!!!!</p>
