<p>I want to know which of these schools I want to transfer to will or will not accept scores taken after entering college. I thought schools would take SAT and ACT scores from all times, but I saw that someone posted that some schools don't...</p>
<p>Boston College
Boston University
Brown University
Columbia University
Cornell University
Dartmouth College
Duke University
Georgetown University
Harvard University
Johns Hopkins University
New York University
Northwestern University
Pomona College
Rice University
Stanford University
Tufts University
University of Chicago
University of Notre Dame
University of Pennsylvania
USC
Yale University</p>
<p>why not contact them each and ask? That why you can confrim what you hear on the CC. just my two cents.............................</p>
<p>It's not on the list, but I thing carnegie doesn't really want SATs/ACTs.</p>
<p>I remember starting a thread identical to this one about a month ago, and recieved very few responses</p>
<p>NYU does not, I don't know if you have considered Chapel Hill but they do accept SAT's after HS and it's not too tought to get into OOS.</p>
<p>Unless you're a rockstar I would wipe Duke off that list, statistically it's harder to get into than Harvard or Yale. If you've got unlimited funds for the app. fees then cool, but I think their transfer rate is like 4%</p>
<p>Really? I thought Duke was 7.85%. Yale is harder to get into, but Harvard is slightly easier.</p>
<p>shoot..if those schools really dont take SAT's/ACT's after college, im screwed.</p>
<p>add UT Austin to that list too.</p>
<p>Wait a minute... These schools don't accept SAT/ACT scores if you took them after you'd already had a college course? I think that's what the list is for except that doesn't make sense to me. I would have applied to Yale University but they require SAT or ACT's from ALL transfer students regardless of how long you've been out of high school.</p>
<p>So...if I never took the SAT or ACT but I already have two years of college and I wanted to apply to Yale it would be impossible because I don't already HAVE old SAT or ACT scores? </p>
<p>That just seems weird. I would call the school right now but it's 7:16 EST and a Friday. So, can anyone clarify this so I don't stay upset all weekend for having decided not to apply to Yale because I didn't want to take the SAT/ACT's after being out of high school for more than five years? </p>
<p>I hope I didn't read this post right.</p>
<p>Acceptance rates don't necessarily have ANYTHING to do with any given person's chance of acceptance. One has to account for the quality of the applicant pool, and other more marginal factors like idiosyncratic criteria and different goals in accepting transfers (for example, Harvard probably wouldn't be hungry for extra revenue in the way that NYU might have to be).</p>
<p>With regards to Duke, I'd sense that any place that accepts less than 100 transfers becomes a crapshoot.</p>
<p>I agree Nuveen but with Duke's acceptance rate you would have to assume that the applicant pool is very strong and a lot of people that have excellent stats and are qualified get turned down just because they can only accept so many. I'm sure that Duke's applicant pool is pretty self-selective anyway.</p>
<p>In regards to their acceptance rate, I may have exaggerated when comparing it to Yale but Duke's transfer rate is extremely low when compared with similarly ranked schools.</p>
<p>The schools that accept less than a hundred students (the "crapshoots") are:</p>
<p>Brown
Yale
Stanford
Columbia
Duke
Pomona College
Harvard
Dartmouth College
Johns Hopkins
Wake Forest </p>
<p>Oh, and to respond to SmileDarling:</p>
<p>Check the websites, because a lot of these schools say that if you haven't taken the SATs, then they won't require them. But if you have, you are required to send them. But those are particular schools. You should look at the websites just in case. And maybe you should take the SATs anyway. But check the websites.</p>
<p>Wake Forest accepts less than 100 but only gets around 200 applicants. Percentage admitted is a better way to compare schools.</p>

<p>The first column is the number of applicants, the second is the number of accepted students, and the third is the percentage overall. It is organized by schools that take the least percentage, to those who take the most. Wake Forest definitely takes the most.</p>
<p>What I'm worried about the most is the transfer application ESSAY. What are you supposed to write about? Is it at all similar to the freshman application ESSAY? I've been trying to gather information about this on the board, but so far no one has been able to give me any concrete details.</p>
<p>remember with colleges like Cornell that the transfer % is misleading as the difference between CAS and ALS school is like 7%/50%.</p>
