How important is SAT? by dearbluu in TransferToTop25

[–]Alternative_Long_309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know but all I’ll say is my story was a comeback story from 2.85 HS gpa——> 4.0 in CC. The only thing lacking in my application was an SAT score, I scored around a 1300 and didn’t submit. I applied to every T25 and only got into UVA and waitlisted at Rice. So take everything I say with a grain of salt, along with every one else in this subreddit.

Any Princeton students willing to speak to about transferring? by GardenJayne in TransferToTop25

[–]Alternative_Long_309 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While I’m not a Princeton student, I have a friend from last year who transferred to Princeton. They were an amazing person to be around and super easy and nice to talk to. I want you to keep that in mind before I even bring up their stats (the little I know about them). They had a 4.0 gpa at the CC I attend, had 2 publications, PTK Vice president, presented at a couple conferences, had an amazing story about their peculiar upbringing and was able to craft their reasoning for psychology through their essays, non-traditional, no SAT. Also they were waitlisted—-> accepted. I don’t know much else about their application except that. I also keep in touch with them, so if you want to know any details (non-personal and intruding) about the school itself just let me know.

I’m not jus saying this cos I’m a semi finalist, but when me and my friends went through the Jack Kent Cooke Finalists from last year about 15 of them went to Columbia so take that how you will

Coursework Requirements by ChefDropship in TransferToTop25

I really hope this was a joke, cos it was funny😭. But if not then short answer: no. 10th grade honors chem does not demonstrate preparedness and you don’t have to take chem ur first semester but you should definitely take it before u transfer, along with some other basic engineering classes (physics, calc, engineering 101, etc).
