I have applied for transfer to Vanderbilt as a sophomore next year. I am very worried how it would go since my SAT scores are very bad.

Reading : 530
Math : 800
Writing : 600

I am currently in University of Rochester, and I have gotten 3.93 GPA last semester(I took Intro courses of biology, calculus I, and chemistry with college writing course). I will be able to pull off 3.9 GPA this semester too. Although I was born in California, I could not have enough time to learn English due to moving to Korea with parents when I was five. It was freshmen year when i had moved back here and decided to stay. It was very hard to improve English past few years. Believe me, SAT scores do not go up well regardless how much I try. I am not sure if I have at least bit of chance to get in. For essay, I did my best to express how much i want to learn in Vanderbilt and fixed grammar errors by going to Writing Fellows for a week.

Does anyone have an opinion?
