Q: hi umm when you enter a community college for 2 years which usually doesnt need sat scores,when you transfer afterwards to a four year university and you get a associates degree will you STILL need a high sat score to enter??

pleaaaase answer:[[
You might want to speak to an adviser about this, as transfer requirements are different depending on the university. In general, you do not need to have an SAT score to transfer, but it does look good if you have attempted it, and have a relatively high score. Really anything you can do to strengthen your application, including attempting the SAT, is helpful. Of course, other factors, such as GPA, course selection, etc., will weigh more heavily, but it couldn't hurt to take the SAT, as a good score can boost your application, if even by a little. Again, all of this depends on the universities that you plan on applying to, many of which are increasingly competitive. First, focus on keeping your GPA strong, making sure that courses are transferable. Throughout the first couple years or so at the community college, keep in contact with an adviser, who can give you all the advice you need, and answer any questions you might have- my sister transferred to a four-year (this was about six years ago), and she said that the advisers really help, as well as trying to get involved in an honors program, if the college offers one. Remember, if you have a decent SAT score, it can help, but does not supplement the GPA. So make sure to keep your grades up, and you'll be fine.

thanks alot=D
