<p>Hey there!</p>
<p>I can't seem to find out the answers I'm looking for, so any information on the admission process would be extremely helpful )</p>
<p>I'm hoping to become an international student in the u.s. and has encountered a few difficulties:
1. Since my school's counselor doesn't know English, should I ask for a recommendation letter, translate it and then return it, so she will submit it??
2. Can I do the same with the official transcripts?
3. Can I send everything through the common app? (essays, TOEFL score...)
4. Should I send my SAT scores before or after submitting the Common-App?</p>
<p>And again, any information would be appreciated,
Thank you!</p>
