<p>Alright a little about me.
(sorry for long read)</p>
<p>I went to High school in Quebec,Canada the 3 years before my senior year i finished first in my class (out of 270 or so i think), unfortunately my last year for personal reasons i barely ever went to class and graduated with a 82/100.</p>
<p>After high school i had no idea what i wanted to do and going to university undecided made no sense to me at the time. So i traveled around South america, Mexico and stayed in L.A for a while. I came back 3 years later focused and ready to go. I really wanted to study in the U.S , half my family lives here and i prefer the schools. </p>
<p>Second mistake:
I took my SAT's last year and went in there unprepared without studying thinking that my English was good enough(french is my first language). Scored 780M, 650CR and 550W.</p>
<p>So now i'm in my first semester a community college in the states Majoring in Pre-Med planning to transfer after 2 years. Classes are going very well and although i don't like predicting a 4.0 it's very improbable that i will get any lower for the semester. I'm applying to schools that give the most financial aid to intl students/canadian citizens. Most of these schools are Reaches for me; Amherst, Oberlin and some of the ivies.</p>
<p>Now for the questions.
1-Intl students often are only required to send in either the ACT OR the SAT
should i take the ACT and never submit my SAT scores? Also if i take SAT subject tests and submit them will my SAT I scores be submitted as well?</p>
<p>2-Are there any "good fit" schools for me that aren't as selective as most of the ivies/stanford and top lib arts colleges and give a good amount of financial aid to international students?(my parents are in the <50k$ bracket)</p>
<p>3-I know getting in to med school in the states as an international is extremely rare ( i think only 50/125 MD programs even look at intl applications) with that said, would changing my major increase my chances at undergrad admission?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
