should i retake the SAT? Took a practice test recently and scored very high. Will it look bad to retake as a freshman?

 

I would never tell anyone to transfer if they want to get into IB. But that being said if you really want to, transferring to a target could be huge. I transferred from a no name non target to a non target (sends about 10 people into IB each year). If you work really hard and network like a non target kid at a target school I think you’ll do well. You could even apply to some schools to see if you get in and stay where you’re at. Hope this helps.

 

I got pretty deep into the transfer process when I transferred so feel free to DM. Yes definitely transfer out of SC. After 30 credit hours most colleges don't ask for SAT scores anyways (some do). The targets will look at the rigor of your classes and your gpa. Take calculus if you haven't and maintain a 3.7-3.8+ and you'll get in to pretty much any semi target private school. Vandy, Emory, Boston College, USC, etc. Main things to look at is if you can transfer straight into the business school or have to apply after being in the general liberal arts school for a semester (Emory is 1 year). I'm not too sure about public schools but I would assume some are friendlier to out of state applicants than others
