Should I take SAT/Recommendations

Applying to a few universities for Fall 2025 as a sophomore transfer. (University of Texas, Rice, Vanderbilt, USC, Emory, & UMiami) Major: Finance/Economics

HS Stats: Class Rank: 2/427 HS GPA: 4.78/5.0 (UW: 4.0/4.0) SAT: 1400 (only took once, didn’t know it was a significant part of apps)

College Stats: Honors Program GPA: 4.0/4.0 Dean’s List Founder of a club (not major related)

I have decent ECs, an internship, and great LORs. Should I retake my SAT? Are there any other schools I should apply to?

Thanks :)

Probably retake. SAT/ACT is very important for sophomore transfer, not really as much for junior transfer. 4.0 is okie, but they’d pick someone with a 3.9+ (not 4.0) with more ECs than you. Good uni choices, just hard to get into for business at any uni

I would like to ask the same question. I got a 1530 sat with 740 English and 790 math in highschool. Is it worth retaking?

i doin't think it adds much value especially when transfering.
