<p>I am thinking of applying this fall. I took SAT in my senior high school year. currently I am studying at a local university (international-freshman year, finished 1st semester) and I am thinking of applying as a freshman instead of transfer to boost my chances of admission. There are many reasons for applying. Will my SAT score taken in my senior high school year work? I graduated in June, 2012. My SAT score is 1970. Should I take it again this January? Will that score be accepted at most universities? I do not have good university GPA. should I send those scores?
Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>SAT scores are valid for use as long as they were taken after eighth grade and within the last 5 years before the time you apply for admission, So your score can be used.</p>
<p>A different issue is whether you can even apply as a freshman. That you have already finished a semester of college means for majority of colleges that you cannot apply as a freshman but must instead apply as a transfer college student. To determine whether you can apply as a freshman or instead must apply as a transfer, you need to check the rules – which vary among colleges in how many college hours are allowed before you are considered a transfer – for the particular colleges you may be interested in, and such information is usually provided on the colleges’ websites. </p>
<p>As to whether 1970 is a good score and whether you should retake depends on the colleges to which you might apply. For many it is a fine score. For high ranked colleges it is too low.</p>
<p>As to providing university grades, you will find that colleges generally require you to provide all grades, from high school or for any courses taken at a college, as part of the application process.</p>
