International Student - Help

Applying to College

<p>Hi everyone! First of all, sorry for my english that is not great but I'll do my best </p>

<p>I'm a 19 year old student, from Portugal and I am homeschooled.</p>

<p>I just got back my first SAT score. I had 790 and to be honest I'm quite disapointed because I was aiming to the 800 and I started having some doubts about whether I had chances (or not) of getting in a Ivy League university. Is 790 in World History good enough for these universities?</p>

<p>I don't have any person in here to help me through this path so I don't know what to do next. I was thinking in taking Math 2 Subject Test and also still wondering if it was worth to also take the Physics exam too. </p>

<p>What do you think? Do you think that colleges will be pleased with having 3 Subject Tests from 3 diferent areas, or do you think that 2 Subject Tests (World History and Math) is just fine?</p>

<p>Thanks for helping me,
Pedro</p>

<p>A 790 is really great. Do you not have to take the regular SAT? World History is actually considered(so I have been told) as one of the easier tests though. You need at least 2 subject tests for all Ivies. So, you need to take a Math (they prefer Math II. And one other test would be beneficial if it is in a subject that is one you feel you will do well in. Really, for subject tests, anything over a 770 is fine. </p>
