Just wondering let’s say you got rejected from a university in May, but then you received your second semester grades in June and received a better SAT score or whatever
Could you send them in and would they just ignore it? Or would they reconsider you if you got lets say an academic advisor to talk to them?
Not necessarily an appeal. All the universities I’ve applied to don’t accept appeals, but could you still send in your scores and new gpa or would they completely ignore it?
And this is for transfer admissions
I’m have no intuition re transfers. For freshman admissions what you suggest may help a wait list candidate, especially stellar grades in advanced AP subjects second semester senior year. I’m less convinced that for such a candidate that an improved SAT score (in a post January senior year sitting) would be of much value. I doubt that a rejection at a top college can be converted to an acceptance regardless of the grades or scores.
Have you checked to see if your target school would even accept new SATs taken by a college student? The SAT (and ACT) were designed for HS students. I doubt schools would consider updates except if taken during a gap year. And if your grades were to get better then you can apply next semester/year.
I’d call the schools and ask.
I think I would spend more time figuring out a college to go to in the fall and then contemplate transferring…or perhaps take a gap year. Definitely call the school and ask if you take the SAT during senior year would they accept it.
But think this way:
Instead of trying to make your GPA/SAT fit a school, find a school that fits your GPA/SAT.
@happy1 @bopper thanks for the feedback! i just can’t find a school that fits my normal GPA in high school (my GPA in university is incredibly high) so it’s very frustrating for me to decide whether or not i should apply to a reach or not right now. (im a freshman) Guess I’m better off applying next year when I have another semester of university grades to show them.
