<p>I’ve applied to Indiana University at Bloomington, Illinois State University, University of Cincinnati, and I am working on the app for Marquette, DePaul, UWM, Loyola Chicago. I am transferring from the Savannah College of Art and Design (random, but I don’t want a specialized school anymore). I took the SAT 3 times, and the ACT once (hated it!). My best SAT scores are: 630 Reading, 620 Math, 670 Writing, 7 Essay. If it’s optional on the transfer application, should I put the scores on there?</p>
<p>bump. come on, did you put sats on yours?</p>
<p>Your SATs are above average for all of the schools there except for math at UWM (assuming that you are referring to Wisconsin Madison). </p>
<p>So you probably should send them everywhere, except perhaps Wisconsin.</p>
<p>I think you should send them everywhere, including Wisconsin. Since you are coming from SCAD, a school that is known to be very strong in arts-related areas but not beyond them, the test scores do help to underscore the fact that you have a solid background across the board in more traditional academic areas.</p>
<p>Something to keep in mind…are you looking to transfer in the arts? Because your credits are going to be very difficult to transfer from SCAD to most colleges. You will most likely go in at lower standing. That’s not really related to the SATs, but I would really consider asking the colleges for a credit eval if possible.</p>
<p>i agree with MHC. a fellow transfer in my year (SCAD to Tisch Film/TV at NYU) had a hard time with her credits. talk with the adcoms and see what credits they’re willing to take and what they won’t.</p>
<p>I am trying to go in undecided (between social work, internatl relations, marketing, sociology). A lot of the schools have an online credit eval service, but SCAD is never on there. I know a lot of my credits won’t transfer (which SUCKS) but you live and you learn what you want to do with your life. I already eliminated a whole quarter’s worth of gen eds by taking 4 AP tests. Which, just to warn prospective students, means I would not have had to take any math or social science classes, and one english elective that many students consider a “blow-off class”. I’m HOPING that my survey 1 art history class will transfer as an elective at the very least, and I think that the speech and public speaking class will transfer. I’m kicking myself for choosing to go to art school.</p>
<p>Careful with assuming the AP tests will help you…most institutions won’t let you apply AP credit as a transfer. :/</p>
<p>that doesn’t make any sense. why not?</p>
<p>I’m not sure what the logic is, fashion_freak, but I can confirm what MHC2011 says. None of the colleges I applied to gave students transfer credit for AP/IB.</p>
<p>i -think- the deal is that your first college already gave you AP credit and let you take the second higher level class. kind of like your AP credit is already implied? </p>
<p>example:</p>
<p>CUNY gave me AP credit for ENG 151 because i got a 3 on AP English Lit.
NYU gave me credit for that ENG 151 class, but I still had to take basic Writing the Essay because my 3 on AP wasn’t good enough to get me out of the basic class.</p>
<p>i’m not sure if i’m being clear.</p>
<p>You only have to take 1 of the gen ed classes in each subject at SCAD. So there is no higher class. i’m completely screwed if I can’t apply my AP credit!</p>
