<p>“2) I could enroll in a college here but still retake the SAT 1 twice ( I have only given it once before ) and the SAT 2, work on my tennis somewhat improve my national rank, do some more volunteer/charity work, improve my guitaring and stuff and then apply again as a freshman next year.”</p>
<p>Do not try this. Even if the colleges in the US “almost never find out” as kheiron1729 says, if they do find out, they can rescind your admission, expel you permanently from their institution, or even years and years after graduation, invalidate your credits and your degree. Yes, they do do this. Not often, but they do. Considering all of the work that you will have gone through in order to get into that college, and then finish that college, you don’t want to find out later on that you have nothing to show for your effort.</p>
<p>If you have not already done so, read through the threads in the International Student Forum on the subject of finding places that will offer you enough financial aid. Look for what b@r!um has written on that topic. She has advice on how to identify institutions that offer very few (but very good) scholarships. As for tennis, I have met an international student who found a full-ride athletic scholarship at a smaller, LAC. However, she was nationally ranked in her home country, and had the time and money to visit several colleges in the US and meet with the coaches. If you need substantial financial aid, you might not have enough money to do that kind of thing.</p>
<p>There is no reason whatsoever for you to take any AP exams. They are offered only once a year, and cannot be taken online. The colleges and universities in the US are familiar with A level exams, and will use those scores to evaluate your application. </p>
<p>Wishing you all the best.</p>
