<p>Hi, Im currently enrolling at a Christian University in Alabama. Im an international student from Europe, and I came to Alabama because of the great climate and great golf. As you probably figured out, I am a golfer and here on scholarship. But I dont like it here in Alabama. It is so conservative and especially at my school. We are are basically not allowed to do anything on weekends, expect sitting in our rooms playing video games and watching movies. On top of that, my school doesnt offer what I want to major in: Business-Finance. I want to transfer from up north.</p>
<p>I am a freshman, and came to college with bad knowledge in english. I scored 870 on SAT with only 380 on the critical reading. As soon as school started, I learned english fast and the last semester I had a GPA of 3,8 and I will probably have something similiar this year. Does my low SAT score affect me when if I transfer this year? Or will they understand that Im an international students and still learning? Will my golf game help me into the schools?</p>
<p>I have been looking around for different schools in the same golf level as mine. Here are my alternatives: Temple University, Georgetown University, Lehigh University, George Washington University ,Fordman University,Drexel University </p>
<p>Which school would you recommend if I want to go to a prestigious school and be in a stimulated enviornment?</p>
<p>I think you’d be in at Drexel if you have over 30 credits when you transfer. I believe they have a policy of not asking for test scores if you have over a certain amount of credits. </p>
<p>I don’t know anything about golf but I would look at schools that don’t require the SAT. Many schools won’t require it if you have over 30-60 credits depending on the school.</p>
<p>I forgot to add some details. Thats why I repost it again.</p>

<p>I am a freshman, and came to college with bad knowledge in english. It usually takes a while for me to learn things, but once I get it, I do really good. Because of my poor english I scored only 850 on SAT(2 sections) with only 370 on the critical reading. As soon as school started, I started to get use of the english language and learned it fast. Last semester I had a GPA of 3,8 and this semester’s GPA will probably be the same. In highschool, I had a GPA of 3,67. When I transfer transfer, will my low SAT score affect my chances to transfer to my sophomore year? Or will they understand my reasons of the poor SAT score and focus more on my GPA? How much is my golf going to help to get into the programs? Can I get an academic scholarship based on my GPA?</p>
<p>I have been looking for good schools, with golf teams in the same level as mine. These are my alternatives: Temple University, Georgetown University, Lehigh University, George Washington University, Fordman University, Drexel University </p>
<p>I would like to go prestigious school in a stimulated enviornment. Other things I consider are: campus, weekend life, and chances to get a good job after graduation .
Which school would you recommend that fits into my criterias?</p>

<p>Thanks for your help. I have a question, do u think I will be able to get academic scholarship from Drexel or I have to only focus on athlete scholarship?</p>
<p>In your case, I wouldn’t rule out schools which require the SAT. Rather, if the SAT schedule permits, I’d suggest you re-take (many schools permit re-takes while already in college). You may score far better - I would expect that you will.</p>
<p>I don’t know much about athletic recruiting - but if are on golf scholarship at your current school, perhaps you do. If not, there are forums here on cc specifically devoted to that. I would suggest you post your questions there as you may get some good ideas.</p>
<p>Georgetown is highly selective academically; Lehigh quite selective and GWU also… but IDK whether their desires for a golfer will bump you up. Nor do I know how they’ll look at your academics - good GPA (but I don’t know what your schedule looked like or how they’ll evaluate your current school).</p>
<p>Academic scholarships are virtually non-existent for transfers.</p>
<p>I appreciate the help. The problem is that im quite late to start to think about a transfer. A lot of the golf teams are full at this point, and if they are not fulll, they will be full in a moment. So I will not have time to retake my SAT. </p>
<p>If I dont transfer this year, is it hard to transfer from my sophomore year to my junior year? And do u know guys how important to graduate from a tier 1 school compared to mine a tier 3 school in the business field?</p>
