Help! What do I need to apply for college in the States?

<p>I live in Europe and want to go to a good college in the States....but I'm not sure if I need the same things as other Americans do to apply, like if I need to take APs as well as SATs and how many SAT subject tests I should do.....and also could you guys recommend books and websites for studying as I don't go to an American school???Thanks.</p>

<p>This is a good website to start your research: International</a> Students - EducationUSA </p>

<p>Most selective colleges will require SAT and SAT Subject Test scores. (You should be fine with 2 subject tests; there are only two or three colleges in the country that require 3.) If English is not your native language, you might also have to take the TOEFL.</p>

<p>However if you have a perfect CR and WR score on the SAT you may e-mail colleges you would like to apply and explain that you do not enough money to take TOEFL (it is really expensive,about 250-300$ )</p>

<p>yeah...and sending them is expensive too.....who founded TOEFL?????</p>

<p>Some ETS official I guess</p>

<p>Correction: ETS genius :)</p>
