Questions

1. I am so worrying about the SAT 1 score. Even though I heard that the SAT 1 is not significantly considered into admission process compared to GPA and etc, since I know the admission process is holistic one, I am just so confusing. I can’t retake the SAT 1.

2) Chance me please?

*I know the transfer admission for colleges in the list is extremely competitive.
