Are you a transfer? Do you have standardized test scores?

Yes indeed I am a transfer. I am transferring from a CC in California. And no I do not have standardized test scores as they are not required for these schools.

You will need spectacular essays and a good reason to transfer to those schools as they are very competitive (especially Dartmouth). I do not know if you are a junior or sophomore transfer but your high school grades will matter for the latter. Your chances are higher for Claremont McKenna in my opinion though.

Really?
Darmouth doesn’t say that.

Amherst College doesn’t require them, but it doesn’t hurt you to take SAT or ACT.

Claremont McKenna doesn’t say that unless Applicants whose college enrollment has been limited to community colleges do not have to submit standardized test scores.

You are right but I could attain a testing waiver for the SATs and ACT as it is stated there. Thank you though for bringing that up.
