Colleges and Universities A-Z North Carolina State University

<p>Hi, I am an international student that have completed up to AS Levels with 4A's and 1B, also achieving A* in A Level Math one year earlier.
I have taken the SAT 2 subject test in October with score
Math Level 2: 760
Physics: 770</p>

<p>I am unsure whether to do my SAT or ACT, the reason for that is I don't think i can get high scores in SAT as my English is not good enough, I would rather do the science exams in ACT. But i have heard that it is preferable for international students to take the SAT. I would like to know which one is better to take?</p>

<p>I have applied for Mechanical Engineering to these universities for early action:</p>

<ol>
<li>University of Minnesota - Twin Cities</li>
<li>Ohio State University</li>
<li>Purdue University</li>
<li>Iowa State University</li>
<li>North Carolina State University</li>
<li>Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University</li>
<li>SUNY at Buffalo</li>
</ol>

<p>I would like to know what are my chances of getting into these universities. Also I want to know what are my chances of getting a scholarship to any of these.</p>

<p>I would take whichever one you truly think you would score higher in, A 30 ACT is better than a 1500/2400 SAT even if there is a “preference” for the SAT. Also, do you know your GPA/grades? That’s also a big factor these universities look at. Once I know this, I can give you a better idea of your chances. Good luck!</p>
