What will they look at ?

Hey guys ! So I applied to one school for ed2 . Will be applying regular decisions to some schools in a few days . My sat score is below average .
So I am choosing not to submit my sat score. I am applying for financial aid as well. What parts of my application will they focus on in terms of merit or academics since I’m not submitting my score ? I took A levels because my school follows the British curriculum . Do they consider A levels courses as rigorous high school courses ? Thank you

Are the schools you are applying to test optional? If not, then you need to submit test scores.

If they are test optional, they will look at everything - your grades, course rigor, recommendations, essays, all of it.

And note that some test optional schools are not TO for international students, so check on each school’s website.

Good luck.

HEY !
Yes the schools I’m applying to are test optional for internationals and I’ve mailed them as well
