UC doesn't accept SAT scores for transfer admission?

I I was curious about whether they require SAT with essay from transfer students, so I asked them about it and this is the reply I got (from Berkeley):

“Transfer students do not need to send SAT scores with their application unless they are using an SAT score to fulfill an admission requirement. If you are not using scores to fulfill an admissions requirement, please do not submit your scores.”

So I shouldn’t send my SAT score even though I think it would help my chances? Do most UC transfer applicants never send their SAT/ACT scores?

Many do not even have SAT (or ACT) scores.

Junior transfer applicants are evaluated based on college record, not high school record, as well as essays, extracurriculars, etc…

Welp, that’s good to know. I was considering retaking the SAT just for UC transfer.
