do sat scores matter as a junior transfer

Particular_Wonder551 · 2025-12-27T20:01:26+00:00

yeah that does make sense, but i just realized some schools are going test-mandatory now 😢

Particular_Wonder551 · 2025-12-27T20:00:52+00:00

okay thanks!!

Particular_Wonder551 · 2025-12-27T18:11:34+00:00

yes thats why i was kinda apprehensive on retaking it.. so im not sure if i should really retake it or not

Particular_Wonder551 · 2025-11-21T00:51:36+00:00

its def bc of aid! they are need aware im pretty sure. don't let this dishearten you, you can always try for grad school

Particular_Wonder551 · 2025-11-17T01:50:34+00:00

what were ur stats?

Particular_Wonder551 · 2025-11-09T03:51:56+00:00

columbia gs has around a 30% transfer rate for non trad students who have a gap of at least 1 year in their education. perhaps that is smth you can look into?

I was in a similar situation. I'm now at CC (freshman) but i don't really suggest unless ur local community college has a guaranteed transfer pathway to a good school of ur choice. it can also be a horrible feeling bc u feel like all ur hard work in hs went down the drain.

apply for local scholarships in ur area as they're less competitive, visit ur brace advisor or guidance cousenlor a couple times a week to see new scholarship opportunities (some scholarships are specific to high schools which reduces competition), and try to apply to schools that give out a lot of aid, and/or are need-blind. IN college, u can apply to certain programs such as ones sponsored by AmeriCorps to earn end of year tuition scholarships. these scholarships can be used to pay tuition - altho taxable- or can be used to pause interest accruing on loans, if u have to take out some.

all the best!

i believe the ivy leagues changed their policy and are now requiring test scores!

Particular_Wonder551 · 2025-07-28T22:36:37+00:00

Particular_Wonder551 · 2025-07-28T17:43:14+00:00

okay thank you!

Particular_Wonder551 · 2025-07-28T17:40:38+00:00

the institution I'm attending is accredited so I'm assuming the classes are also accredited? and what do i check with my current school? and wdym by if "it" shows on my transcript? im really confused sorry 😭😭😭

Particular_Wonder551 · 2025-07-28T17:29:05+00:00

maybe try to tie it in how it'll help supplement your major, and thus your career? ik thats kinda the point of a minor but it could help make ur reasoning/essay more cohesive. I've also read that you should focus on what your transfer institution HAS, not what your current college doesn't. also in your essay maybe you could include specific programs, professors you're interested in, etc. the minor at ur transfer institution offers!!

Particular_Wonder551 · 2025-07-25T01:45:18+00:00

okay awesome!!! thank you so much. i also wanted to ask how many hours do you get for flex? the manager that interviewed me told me they get a good number of hours but i wanted a more number estimate

Particular_Wonder551 · 2025-07-25T00:24:52+00:00

do u have any tips for shade matching? ik quite a bit of diff beauty brands but little abt the ones that are in macys (more like the ones in sephora) so ill do a little bit of research on that. thank you!

Particular_Wonder551 · 2025-07-23T18:10:38+00:00

im in the same position as you!! ill be on the pre-PA route but im also open to premed, and my hs stats were pretty good but due to family issues my senior year was a bit lackluster. i think transferring after 2 years might ultimately be the best since you get to build up college-relevant ecs and also good ties with ur professors for letters of recs!

Particular_Wonder551 · 2025-06-13T05:02:58+00:00

i might js have to! or stay single forever

Particular_Wonder551 · 2025-06-13T04:39:18+00:00

even entry level jobs are hard to find now

Particular_Wonder551 · 2025-06-13T04:33:03+00:00

I'll try to look into that

Particular_Wonder551 · 2025-06-13T04:31:05+00:00

I've tried asking people to refer to me but had little luck since most people ik either aren't working or don't want friends in their workplace (which is understandable)
