Will UCLA or Berkeley ever require sat's for transfer students

<p>I was just wondering because every year it gets more and more competitive.</p>

<p>yeah, that could happen. But not in the next 5 years.</p>

<p>i doubt it.</p>

<p>maybe if they open it up to sophomore level transfers but i doubt it</p>

<p>I could see it happening in the next decade or two, but College Board will likely create a separate transfer exam if anything. By that time, the current SAT as we know it would probably change in format as well (or be replaced with a different standard of academic measurement).</p>

<p>This reminds me of my SAT days when the max was still 1600. With the new 2400 max and the merging of the old SAT II Writing portion into the regular SAT, I actually get bumped up into a higher percentile ;)</p>

<p>SAT was BS.</p>

<p>I don’t think so. In fact, recent studies have shown that the SATs have become somewhat obsolete and will likely be done away with since they don’t really predict a student’s success in college…so quite the opposite, in the next 5 yrs or decade colleges may not even consider them anymore.</p>

<p>I think they will eventually require people to take a test like the sat’s. It will keep getting more competitive in the future and they will have to look at more stuff than gpa</p>

<p>that would be b.s. transfer students are transfer students i dont think they would ever require SAT scores.
and if they do one day…i hope there will be a righteous outrage in protest.
and i would be so glad that it didnt effect me…cuz…my SAT scores…are sad :(</p>

<p>I believe they are closer to NOT requiring SAT’s in general than requiring SAT’s for transfers.</p>

<p>I don’t think so. The University of California works closely with California Community College, and promotes transferring from CCC’s to UC campuses. SAT scores are for high schoolers who only have high school grades. We, as transfers, generally have 2+ years of college level coursework under our belts- I believe they will continue to evaluate and admit based on the college level work that students will have completed.</p>

<p>I doubt there will be any standardize exam just cause different major learn different things. I think they should have a simple standardize exam given at the end each class that transfers. Just too see if the student has learned the material enough to be able for it to be deemed equivalent. But then again the cost/time of doing that would be too difficult.</p>

<p>standardized testing is a waste of time&money. it doesn’t prove ****.</p>

<p>who cares…</p>
