<p>I'm a freshman at the University of British Columbia with a 3.8 GPA. I'm planning to transfer to McGill at the moment, but would be willing to take my chances with other colleges in North America as well. Since I never took my SATs (Canadian high schools don't require them), I'm wondering if you guys can provide me with a list of colleges I could apply for a transfer to, that don't require SAT scores. Also, hopefully the deadlines are at times I will still be able to make.</p>
<p>My high school results are as follows:
B.C. High School Diploma - 4.0 GPA (91% average, with 86% as an A)
GCSE (British secondary school certificate) - 7 As, 3 A*s</p>
<p>No, my results aren't spectacular. But it's not like I'm hoping to get into an Ivy League or anything. I'm a prospective Political Science/Philosophy major, and an international student.</p>
<p>Most colleges in the US require SAT's but you can also submit the ACT -if youre willing to work hard the next SAT if on Jan 27 and the ACT is on Feb 10th- you could prob take it and prepare as hard as you can.. unfortunately those are the last dates that you can take the test on so that the scores will reach the schools on time for Fall 2007 transfer.. Im in a similar position to you- I am at SFU- and would also like to move- Im international too</p>
<p>I'm looking into the UCs and USC at the moment, as well as John Hopkins.</p>
<p>There is little to no chance I can take the SAT now. I have a lot of work this semester and will have absolutely no time this weekend, for example.</p>
<p>lol125, where are you planning to transfer to? SFU international fees are ridiculously high, the last time I checked.</p>
<p>Are there any other non-SAT-requiring colleges I can apply to as a transfer?</p>
<p>My D is also transferring and we found that University of San Diego, Northeastern, William & Mary and Tulane also don't require her SAT scores. BUT we noticed that some of the schools didn't require the SAT's because she had a large number of units so you might want to double check the requirement for your number of units.</p>
<p>SFU international fees are pretty high and so I am looking to transfer to find a better financial package and better campus life- looking at some ivys and stanford.. working hard to improve my GPA this semester into the competitive range as its only in the so so range right now..</p>
<p>Please note that if you will not be a Junior level applicant, you will have 60 semester transferable units, by the end of spring quarter you must apply as a Sophmore applicant. As a sophmore applicant a student must have met UC Eligibility requirements as a Freshman. Thus, needing the proper ACT or SAT exams. It seems that if you are a freshman currently, more units may be needed to meet junior level requirements which do not require the exams.Please note that if you will not be a junior level applicant, 60 semester transferable units, by the end of spring quarter you must apply as a sophomore applicant. As a sophomore applicant a student must have met UC Eligibility requirements by the date of your high school graduation., thus, needing the proper ACT or SAT exams. It seems that if you are a freshman currently, more units may be needed to meet junior level requirements which do not require the exams for admissions.</p>
<p>Hi - I know this thread is a couple months old but I figured I'd share what I know anyway. I never took my SAT's either. </p>
<p>Here is a list of the colleges I found that don't require SAT's if you've completed a set number of credits (varies per school, double-check on their website) and/or have been out of HS for more than five years. </p>
<p>Georgetown University (DC)
American University (DC)
George Washington University (DC)
Johns Hopkins University (MD)
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (IL)</p>
<p>So, there you go. I'll update this if I find more out there. Hope this helps!</p>
