<p>I think I have really good college recommendations. I’m a freshman transferring for sophomore year at competitive colleges. Does anyone have any idea how much this weighs in transfer admission decisions? I have a great hs record (almost 4.0 u/w), 3.7 college first semester GPA, but SAT scores around 2000–high 600/low 700s. Can the good recs overcome the low-ish SATs? Bowdoin, Vandy, Virginia, Duke, UNC, Tufts-ish (not a complete list)</p>
<p>bump. Any thoughts? Anyone?</p>
<p>A couple grams, but nothing if they’re electronic.</p>
<p>More seriously though, a few universities I applied to didn’t even ask for letters of recommendation, but they seem fairly important to those that do. As a transfer student, your SAT scores and HS GPA don’t matter as much as when you were applying as a freshman.</p>
<p>What seems most important are your grades at the university you’ve been going to, which are pretty good, and where you’re going.</p>
