<p>Hi guys if somebody could help me I would appreciate it a great deal as I have looked everywhere and am slightly confused to say the least :P</p>
<p>I am doing my A-Levels and will have them by the July this year and am looking to apply for an undergraduate course in 2011. I know I must take SAT 1's, but do I also have to take two SAT 2's if I wanted to get into a place like MIT for an undergraduate management course? </p>
<p>Also (sorry to seem newbish), could anyone enlighten me about this whole 'school inside a university' thing. For example The University of Pennsylvania has the Wharton School of Business and Miami with the Farmer School of Business etc. </p>
<p>How might I get into Wharton, Farmer etc? Do I have to apply to Pennsylvania, Miami etc first and then hope to get transferred to these schools or do I get to apply to such schools directly. Many of these schools have requirements like 'must have sat X hours in the university'?? Then how do I apply to them for undergraduate study, would I have to sit in the normal university too as well as their respective Wharton/Farmer school? </p>
<p>If anybody could clear this up for me I would be very grateful as I have searched their websites but I'm still a tad confused :P</p>
<p>For those universities, you specify the choice of schools/colleges within the university you are looking at. For some other universities (MIT, Stanford, etc) you apply to the university with no restrictions on majors.</p>
<p>Honestly, if you’re doing the A-Levels, the SAT II’s should be a walk in the park (Math IIc is baby stuff compared to A level Math, and I’m not even talking further math here; Physics is NOTHING compared to what you’re probably doing in Mechanics and Chemistry doesn’t even compare to the O level).</p>
<p>^ Agreed completely. Buy or borrow one these books that have two tests. DO NOT bother to read the theories. They’re all ways to confuse you. Just write the test, check the answer keys. If I had a whole lot of money, I’ll bet $100K that you’ll have got 800, 800, 800. If not, you’ll get them next time.</p>
<p>Unless you think you’ll get < a low B on your A Levels. Even borderline A/B will get you a comfortable 800. If you’re not very sure of your A, just practice a bit and you’ll get that 800.</p>
<p>Also, NEVER take Math I. If you’re doing A Levels, you might run the risk of scoring 790 or 780 or maybe even lower. The scaled scores for Math II are much more lenient.</p>
<p>If you want to apply after your gap year, you’re fine. If you want to apply this year, you should quickly call your nearest SAT-centre and inform if you could possibly do standy-testing! Good luck! The SATIIs aren’t too hard, they are mainly just really different from what you have done at school probably.</p>
<p>Just to reinforce what frankchn said, I take it you apply to the Farmer school of Business (by specifying it in the application). So I won’t end up being accepted by Miami university but rejected by Farmer? Or do I have to sit in Miami for a certain period of time and then apply to Farmer?</p>
<p>I am not sure about Miami, but for Penn/Wharton, if you apply for Wharton, then you will either be accepted to Penn and the Wharton School or be completely rejected/waitlisted.</p>
