<p>Itohang: Here is some info from Rice’s website:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>What is the minimum GPA required for transfer applicants?
In order to apply for admission, you should have at least a 3.2 GPA in college. Those offered admission as transfer students typically have a GPA of 3.5 or better. GPAs in college are evaluated within the context of the degree of difficulty of coursework pursued and competitiveness of the college you have attended.</p></li>
<li><p>Am I required to take SAT or ACT tests? Do the scores have to be current?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>All applicants for undergraduate admission are required to take the SAT or ACT to be considered for admission. All scores must be sent directly from the testing organization. Rice’s College Board code is 6609; our ACT code is 4152. Older scores should still be able to be sent by these agencies to Rice.</p>
<ol>
<li>What scores are competitive for transfer admission?
The middle 50% for admitted students is 1390-1530 (CR+M) on the SAT and 31-34 on the ACT.</li>
</ol>
<p>UVA’s transfer situation is somewhat different in that you would be considered OOS. This is from their Admission’s website.
The University of Virginia welcomes applications from students seeking to transfer from other accredited colleges and universities. Transfer students are a vital part of the University community, contributing substantially to academic and extracurricular life on Grounds. Each year more than 500 enroll; a quarter are nontraditionally aged, and a third come from the Virginia Community College System. The University of Virginia adheres to the State Policy on transfer.</p>
<p>Along with the Common App and UVA supplement, transfer applicants must also supply their high school transcripts, all college transcripts, and SAT/ACT scores. UVA does not post their transfer stats, but their averages for regular freshman admissions are quite competitive, especially for OOS students. UVA’s system with the community colleges is not unlike Ga Tech’s agreements with various Georgia colleges that if a student takes certain course work and makes acceptable grades that they can transfer to Ga Tech. </p>
<p>Hope that helps.</p>
