<p>General Comments, scholarship chances, status info, going to Chapman…?:
I got a 20,000 dollar annual scholarship. Initially I preferred USD over Chapman, but they’re only giving me 10k annually, but I’m just not so sure that Chapman is any good for pre-med. My top choice schools are USC and UCLA. I will hopefully end up at USC, I think.</p>

<p>Hey guys, I have a quick question for those who were accepted but they didn’t take the SAT’s test. I am currently attending sixth form in London, United Kingdom; we only do SAT’s once in our secondary education life. We do them when we’re in Year 9, around the age of 13-14. </p>

<p>I want to attend Dodge College of Film and Media Arts and study B.F.A. Creative Producing but to do so I have been told I should take the SAT’s and it also states on the ‘Common Application’ that I need SAT’s results. How did you guys submit your applications without SAT results?</p>

28

<p>Sorry, it won’t allow me to edit the post. </p>

<p>Edit : Does the ‘ACT’ test act as a substitute?</p>

<p>@ warehouse -</p>

<p>Most - if not all - accept the ACT. Many prefer it.</p>

<p>@Warehouseathome, I sent you a private message explaining the different between UK “sats” and American S.A.T.s. You can take the S.A.T.s as many times as you want and people usually take it in their last two years of school before going to university. Also explained it in that other thread but I’m concerned you may not have seen the message! Please let me know you’ve seen it. :)</p>
