Yale transfer and SAT score

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hi, I (kind of) know that when it comes to transferring to extremely prestigious schools, a great amount of chance comes into play, but at least, one needs to have somewhat decent scores, GPA, etc to expect for some chances, correct?</p>

<p>So, my question is that I have really low SAT score, 2170--I basically did not study for SAT at all when I was in the high school, but during last semesters, I took several 200-300 level English literature, social science, and argument classes, which concentrated on writing, and got all As in those classes. Plus, I attend UVa, giving some weights to those courses.</p>

<p>Do you think I need to take SAT again to boost up the score? Will the college look at my classes/grades and do not take my current SAT score--hopefully--seriously?</p>

<p>If you do not think this would work out, please just say that I should not apply for Yale transfer--cut off my hope, right away.</p>

<p>What year would you be going in?
Anyway, I think that you should retake the SATs and also focus on at least 2 SAT2. Don’t let anyone stop you from applying. Different schools look at diff things in applicants, so go ahead and apply. Good Luck!</p>

<li><p>I am transferring as a junior standing, which means I am currently a sophomore.</p></li>
<li><p>I already took 3 SAT2s, and all of them are 800.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Will my classes cover my SAT1 score?</p>

<p>I wouldn’t worry about SATs as a jr transfer, your college record will be much more important.</p>
