Two schools D applied to for transfer (Catholic & American in DC) didn’t look at her SAT’s once she had completed over 24 credits…look at the transfer web page for the schools you are interested in. I believe, some competative schools (like Georgetown, GW) still look at SATs but I bet they are not as important as your college average. So it wouldn’t hurt to have a set of better SAT’s…you might even try the ACT. Some people do better.

Many schools (and it varies) aren’t generous with transfer FA. It’s easier to get accepted than to get good merit or need based financial aid unless your average is high, like over like 3.7.

So I back up harv5889…concentrate all your effort on an excellent avg. if you get a looser course or prof as a freshman (because you don’t have access to the inside scoop like ratemyprofessor.com) be willing to drop/add. Nobody questioned the W on transcript. By second term…find out which courses & professors are the best bet and keep you’re eye on your goal.

Look here on CC discussions to see what the profiles are for the students who get into the schools your interested in. (but I think transferring is a bit easier if you can pay $ and don’t need FA).
