International Students SAT/Confirmation Letter SCA

<p>Hey there,
as everyone anxiously awaits their decisions from usc (ad do I!)... I thought i'd take to the forums to ask a couple questions.
I am an international student applying from Canada, went through the Ontario school system which is in comparison to some schools in the states: when it comes to marking- just what I've been told by school officials. For example it's rare for anyone to get above a 90 in anything in grade 12. The reason I say that, is because although my SAT score wasn't anywhere near as stellar as some of my american friends (and others from what I've read) I did have over a 90 average in my grade 12 year (in all University credit courses) and graduated with honors. Anyway... I won't go into my extra curriculars unless anyone is interested but ... shoot let me wrap this up... </p>

<p>1) Wondering what some other SAT scores were from Intl Students (for USC)
2) Did anyone else receive the letter asking to confirm your address etc? (if that means anything)</p>

<p>i'm very anxious to hear back from usc but have also applied to other film programs/universities such as Bournemouth UK and Uni of Arts London. As welll as mcgill and other schools in Canada(Toronto/Montreal/Vancouver)
I just feel as though the whole SAT College Board "Trade Mark" Testing deters many from applying in the US</p>

<p>Sorry that's so long. If you have any questions ask me... and I applied for Film Production and Critical Studies.</p>

<p>Well, I’m pretty sure SAT score expectations for int’l students aren’t as high as for American students. Everyone knows about the SAT over there and do prep since 9/10th grade. They understand that the SAT is pushed down students throats outside of the US generally. I’m an int’l student and I got into USC with a 3.92 UW GPA and an 1840 SAT score with a scholarship. I’m from Sudan. :D</p>
