International Students - Requirements

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. 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>Hey Pedro, you need to take SAT I or ACT, which is much more important than the subject tests.</p>

<p>As for your subject test scores, they are fine. No need to retake. </p>

<p>Viphan, thank you! And to get in the Ivy League universities, what range of score would I have to get? I was planning to do the SAT I as the last test so I can have more time to study and practice</p>

<p>International applicants usually have a higher barrier - I would personally advise around 2300. </p>
