<p>I should have mentioned that my assumption was that your SAT would be higher than your PSAT. I wouldn’t plan on taking all three SATIIs in one sitting, if you can avoid it. Why not take the SAT in May, and 2 SATIIs in June. If the results are good, you’re done. If not, you can take either test in October and/or November.</p>
<p>Another thought: is there a subject you did very well in last year, such as Honors Chemistry or Biology? If so, you could take the SATII in that subject this January. If you get one of the good practice books, you could bone up over Christmas vacation.</p>
<p>Regarding money: it is unclear to me whether you would be considered an international. No matter what, schools will need to see your parents financial information, and your EFC will depend on that, not on what they are willing to pay. So if our parents have enough to be able to pay $30K per year, for example, colleges are going to expect them to do that, and any grants will be sized to suit. You won’t get extra money from need-based schools because your parents don’t want to pay.</p>
