Advice pls! Korean Int. Stu. Wants to Study 1 more year to go to higher ranked college!

@PurpleTitan Unless she does something dramatic - e.g. winning the most prestigious scholastic award, becoming a worldclass Taekwondo champion, and winning an international music competition, her “portfolio” would look fairly similar to what she has now. This is my guess; she wants to raise her SAT scores up to 2300ish, which she believes to increase her chance getting into elite schools. Right, test score is not everything. I have introduced some colleges like University of Minnesota at Morris where the total cost is about $20k. If she gets some financial help from college, she could pay less than $20k!
