<p>Do you think that your English is good enough to go to college in an English-speaking country? Your post doesn’t display terrible English, but has enough mistakes that I think that you might struggle.</p>
<p>^^^ Umm…its called typos? And i am pretty sure even native English speakers make those from time to time. </p>
<p>But I personally don’t think language should play too much of a role in the application process. As long as your essays don’t contain too many errors and as long as you do well on the SAT Reading then it doesn’t matter too much if you don’t have the same control of the English language as Robert Frost or Shakespeare. :] It will be practice.</p>
<p>Yup, which is why I asked. His post not nearly bad or good enough, especially given how brief it is, for me to even really guess yes or no. I still think it is a question he should ask of himself, even if he only asks it after he gets in. I’d like to say that “pretty decent at English” is enough to be sure that college in an English-speaking country won’t be too difficult, but one of my friends is a potential humanities concentrator who has pretty good English, but is still struggling mightily to write B papers in this language. (And I don’t think she’d have a problem churning out B+ essays, at the very least, in her native language. I am guessing, since I have never read any of her work in that language, and have no information about her academic writing. However, she was a student columnist for a not un-prestigious newspaper in her country.)</p>
<p>Also, you will notice me not chancing, because (a) international applications are harder to guess for than domestic ones, and domestic ones are really hard to accurately guess and (b) it will probably come down to a lot of things I don’t know:
-how good you are at math
-how good you are at sports (basketball sounds good, but I don’t know the context)
-how good you are at music
-SAT, especially English sections
-essays
-letters of recommendation</p>
<p>^ Maths isn’t a mistake. Ever heard a British person talk about Math? It’s just international. However, the “since 7 years” and “I play” instead a of “have played” are more telling. Regardless, I doubt the OP was paying much attention to his/her English for this CC post :)</p>
