Do I need SAT scores to transfer from community college?

I'm planning on transferring from a community college to a four-year university. Do I have to submit my old SAT scores for this, or are they not important for transfer students?

It really depends on the specific universities you're interested in transferring to. Some universities do require SAT or ACT scores from transfer applicants, while others do not. In general, many universities view college grades as a better indicator of academic prowess, especially if you've been out of high school for a few years.

However, each school has its own policies. For example, some schools may not require SAT/ACT scores if you have completed a certain number of college credits. In other cases, if you're applying as a transfer student within a certain time period after graduating high school (usually 1-2 years), you may still need to submit your SAT or ACT scores.

For a definitive answer, you should check the transfer admission requirements of the specific universities you're planning to apply to. If the information is not readily available on their websites, you could also reach out to the admissions office.

Keep in mind also that meeting the minimum requirements is not necessarily a guarantee of admission, since transfer admissions can be quite competitive, especially at more selective institutions. Your college coursework, GPA, extracurricular activities, and personal essay (if required) will also be important factors in your application.

So, while your SAT scores could play a part in your transfer application, they will be just one piece of the puzzle, and not always the most influential one. Make sure to focus on performing well in your community college classes and getting involved in activities that resonate with your interests or potential major. These will demonstrate your ability to succeed in a four-year university environment.
