Should I retake the SAT to transfer?

I don’t think it’s likely that your SAT score was a weakness in your applications.

Colleges won’t be too impressed with SAT scores taken as a college student. If you applied and were denied to the schools you mentioned above for frosh entry, gaining admission as a transfer will be even more difficult (they will still have your frosh app). When it comes time to submit your transfer app make sure to focus on what the new school has that Columbia doesn’t…academic reasons should be the primary focus.

I am not sure why you applied to Columbia if it wasn’t a good fit, but encourage you to embrace Columbia as the great school that it is and not go in as a freshman who is intent on transferring.

Good luck.
