<p>“If you are applying as a transfer student and you have previously taken either of these tests, you should not retake the tests now; simply submit the results of your SAT or ACT examinations. If you have yet to take either the SAT or ACT examinations and have been enrolled in a college or university for less than one year, you must take one of these tests and submit the results as part of your application. If you have been enrolled in a college or university for at least one year of full-time study, you are exempt from having to submit the SAT or ACT.”</p>

<p>NYU discourages transfers from taking standardized tests if they have already taken them; as it gives that particular applicant an advantage. </p>
<p>For example, if I were to take the SAT now, I’m 99% sure I would score near perfect scores in every section. Why? It’s a test designed for high school students.</p>
