<p>I'm applying ED to Columbia College. I know that it doesn't have a cut off score, but being an international, how high should your SAT scores be to have a decent chance? (considering you have good ECs, recs. GPA etc.)</p>
<p>I know that it is really competitive, I'm just trying to understand how important SAT scores for internationals are.</p>
<p>I think your financial contribution matters as well. I don’t think there’s a cut-off for anyone though, but I would say over 2200 is to be considered a “decent” score for int’l.</p>
<p>^financial contribution doesn’t matter, I have a freshman friend who got a 1900 or so, and gets 48G/year in FA. He had unbelieveable ECs. You have an advantage if you come from a country from where Columbia doesn’t have an undergrad. They also make small concessions if english isn’t your first language, or if your from a very different educational system, they realize that the SAT caters most to American highschool students.</p>
<p>I totally agree with you. I mean would you ask an American high school student to take the French Baccalaur</p>
